Sequence
H-Sar-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-OH
Target
Vasoconstrictive Peptide / Angiotensin Peptide
Description
Angiotensin II (AT II) is a peptide produced from AT I by angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE). AT II binds the AT II type 1 (AT1) receptor, stimulating GPCRs in vascular smooth muscle cells and increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels; this results in contraction and vasoconstriction, increasing blood pressure. AT II also acts at the Na+/H+ exchanger in the proximal tubules of the kidney. Here, AT II increases reabsorption of Na+ and HCO3- and excretion of H+, increasing blood volume and pH and further increasing blood pressure. Angiotensins are peptide hormone components of the renin-angiotensin system involved in the regulation of blood vessel constriction and aldosterone release. Angiotensin I, a decapeptide derived from angiotensinogen, is a converted to Angiotensin II by the removal of the two C-terminal amino acids. Various analogues of Angiotensins I and II made by amino acid substitution are used in structure and sequence studies to analyze and differentiate the functions of natural angiotensins.
