Proto-Oncogene Mas (MAS1) Antibody (Biotin)

Background

MAS1 is a gene that encodes a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in various physiological processes, including cardiovascular regulation, neuronal signaling, and cellular proliferation. It was originally identified as a proto-oncogene due to its potential role in tumorigenesis. MAS1 is involved in signaling pathways that regulate the growth and differentiation of cells. It is also known for its interaction with the angiotensin peptide, particularly in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance. MAS1 functions in mediating the effects of angiotensin peptides on vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells, contributing to vasodilation and regulating blood pressure. Studies suggest that MAS1 may play a protective role in cardiovascular health by modulating angiotensin-induced vasoconstriction. Dysregulation of MAS1 signaling has been implicated in various cancers and cardiovascular diseases, and research into its role as a tumor suppressor or oncogene could provide novel insights for therapeutic strategies.
