9.A.14.13.10
The apelin hormone receptor (angiotensin receptor; GPCR APJ; GPCR HC11) of 380 aas.  The human apelin (77 aas) receptor is coupled to G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity.
It plays a role in various processes in adults such as regulation of blood pressure, heart contractility, and heart failure. During heart formation, it acts as a receptor for elabela hormone (ELA). It influences cell movement during embryonic development and serves as an alternative coreceptor with CD4 for HIV-1 infection (Pauli et al. 2014); it may also be involved in the development of AIDS dementia.  Elevated Na+ is a dynamic and reversible modulator of mitochondrial metabolism in the heart (Chung et al. 2024).  The cardiac lipidome is also important to the progression of heart failure (Flori et al. 2025).
