Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable apelin receptor activity. Involved in circulatory system development; positive regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell proliferation involved in sprouting angiogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within regulation of gap junction assembly. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human APLNR (apelin receptor).
