Immunohistochemistry
Expression of Angiotensin-(1-7) Mas Receptor in rat kidneyImmunohistochemical staining of rat kidney paraffin embedded sections using Anti-Angiotensin-(1-7) Mas Receptor Antibody (#AAR-013), (1:100). Angiotensin-(1-7) Mas receptor (brown staining) is detected in proximal tubules (PT) and distal tubules (DT) in the renal cortex. Collecting ducts (CD) are less stained and both glomeruli (G) and blood vessels (A) are negative. Hematoxilin is used as the counterstain.

Scientific background
The Angiotensin-(1-7) Mas receptor is the recently identified receptor of the biologically active heptapeptide Angiotensin-(1-7).1
Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7) is a metabolite of the well known peptide hormone Angiotensin (Ang) II, a key component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that has a central role in cardiovascular homeostasis.
Considerably interest in Ang-(1-7) and its receptor aroused in the last few years since it became apparent that it can counterbalance most of Ang II effects. Thus Ang-(1-7) has vasodilator and hypotensive effects as well as antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective roles.2, 3
The Ang-(1-7) Mas receptor belongs to the 7-transmembrane domain, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily and was originally described as a protooncogene.
Signaling via the Ang-(1-7) Mas receptor is still poorly elucidated however, evidence indicates that the receptor is coupled to a Gq/11 protein that activates phospholipase C (PLC).2,3
The Ang-(1-7) Mas receptor is expressed in several organs including heart, kidney, blood vessels, testis and brain. Studies with Ang-(1-7) Mas receptor knockout mice have demonstrated the key role of this receptor in cardiovascular regulation as well as in the regulation of learning and memory.2
Lyophilized Powder
Anti-Angiotensin-(1-7) Mas Receptor Antibody (#AAR-013) is a highly specific antibody designed against an epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry applications. It has been designed to recognize Ang-(1-7) Mas receptor from rat, mouse, and human samples.
