ATP6AP2, also named as ATP6IP2, CAPER, ELDF10, N14F, ATP6M8-9, Renin receptor and prorenin receptor, is believed to potentiate the reninangiotensin system(RAS), conferring to prorenin, a likely pathological role at tissue level. The PRR has been identified in the microvascular endothelial cells of the retina, in which it seems to be involved in pathological neovascularization processes. The present study demonstrates for the first time that the PRR is expressed in human ATP6AP2 and suggests a molecular mechanism by which hypertension may exacerbate the pathology of dry AMD.
