angiotensin 1/2 (2 7)

Angiotensin I/II (2-7) is a peptide that contains the amino acids 2-7 and is converted from Angiotensin I/II peptide. Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and a subsequent increase in blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates th

Angiotensin I/II (1-7) amide is a peptide analog to angiotensin II that is used as a vasopressor in the treatment of certain types of shock and circulatory collapse. Angiotensin I/II amide is an amide derivative of angiotensin II that is a powerful vasoco

Angiotensin 1/2 (5-7) is a peptide with the sequence H2N-Ile-His-Pro-OH. Angiotensin is an oligopeptide and is a hormone and a powerful dipsogen. It is derived from the precursor molecule angiotensinogen, a serum globulin produced in the liver. It plays a

Angiotensin 1 2 (5-7) acetate is a peptide with the sequence H2N-Ile-His-Pro-OH. Angiotensin is an oligopeptide and is a hormone and a powerful dipsogen. It is derived from the precursor molecule angiotensinogen, a serum globulin produced in the liver. It

Alamandine can be formed from angiotensin A by action of ACE-2 or directly from angiotensin-(1-7) by decarboxylation of its aspartate residue. The angiotensin A analog produces effects resembling those of Ang II (1-7). However, it acts independently of the two known vasodilators receptors of the RAS (Mas and angiotensin II type 2). To produce its effects, alamandine binds to the Mas-related receptor, MrgD. A novel orally active formulation of alamandine produced a long-term antihypertensive effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats and cardioprotective effects. These novel findings will be helpful for developing a new understanding of the RAS, a key regulator of blood pressure and fluid balance. The heptapeptide could serve as a model peptide, e.g. in the development and evaluation of analytical methods.
