Angiotensin receptor-binding molecule in leukocytes in association with the systemic and leukocyte inflammatory profile.

•ATRAP expressed in human leukocytes, predominantly granulocytes and monocytes.•Leukocyte ATRAP mRNA correlated with the inflammation status in NCDs patients.•Leukocyte IL-1β mRNA from BM-KO mice significantly enhanced after LPS injection.•Leukocyte ATRAP may be a candidate marker reflecting the systemic and leukocyte inflammation.
