About APELA

Cytogenetic location: 4q32.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:164,877,178-164,899,007 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 16 orthologues. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 1.8), kidney (RPKM 0.5) and 2 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a peptide hormone that binds to the Apelin receptor. The encoded protein is required for heart development in zebrafish and has been shown to maintain self-renewal of human embryonic stem cells through activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Experiments in human and mouse cell lines point to additional roles for the encoded protein in angiogenesis and regulation of vascular tone. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
