| angiotensin II |
an octapeptide hormone formed by the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) on a. I, chiefly in the lungs but also at other sites, including the blood vessel walls, uterus, and brain. It is a powerful vasopressor and stimulator of aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, and it also functions as a neurotransmitter. Its vasopressor action raises blood pressure and diminishes fluid loss in the kidney by restricting blood flow.
