MAS1 MAS1 proto-oncogene, G protein-coupled receptor
ENSG00000130368 · protein coding · Open Targets profile
G protein-coupled receptor that plays key roles in the renin- angiotensin system (RAS) specifically in the protective, counter- regulatory arm of the RAS (PubMed:25967876). Receptor mainly stimulated by angiotensin 1-7, which is a bioactive metabolite of the angiotensin produced by ACE2 (PubMed:17984366). Activation promotes nitric oxide via PI3K/Akt-eNOS pathway (PubMed:17984366). Modulates also the MAPK, ERK1/2, and NF-kappa-B signaling (PubMed:25967876). Positive regulation of AGTR1 levels occurs through activation of the G proteins GNA11 and GNAQ, and stimulation of the protein kinase C signaling cascade (PubMed:15809376, PubMed:16611642). The antagonist effect on AGTR1 function is probably due to AGTR1 being physically altered by MAS1 (PubMed:15809376, PubMed:16611642). Acts as functional receptor for CXCL17 and induces chemotactic movement (PubMed:41167449). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P30554, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15809376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16611642, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17984366, ECO:0000269|PubMed:41167449}.
Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.
Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e – (upper bound –). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
Who runs trials of these drugs
Principal investigators and study chairs on 2 registry trials, updated in the last three years, of the most advanced drugs against MAS1 (talfirastide), ranked by Phase 2+ trials. Live from ClinicalTrials.gov.

Registry trials of talfirastide updated in the last three years, counted by the country group of their listed sites. A trial with sites in several groups counts in each; 2 of 2 have all sites in one country.
Site counts are not patients per country, and trials registered only outside ClinicalTrials.gov are not covered. Where sites are is a fact about the record, not a judgement of its quality. Europe is the EU and EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov, fetched live.
