| angiotensin II | <chemical> The active form of angiotensin. An octapeptide found in blood, it is synthesised from angiotensin I and quickly destroyed. Angiotensin II causes profound vasoconstriction with resulting increase in blood pressure. The clinically and experimentally used bovine form has valine in position 5 where the human form has isoleucine. Pharmacological action: vasoconstrictor agents. Chemical name: Angiotensin II (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| angiotensin III | <chemical> A heptapeptide formed by the enzymatic hydrolysis of angiotensin II. It has greater activity than angiotensin II for stimulating aldosterone synthesis and in the release of prostaglandins but only 20% of the pressor activity. Chemical name: Angiotensin II, 1-de-L-aspartic acid- (12 Dec 1998) |
| angiotensin I (Phe 8-His 9) hydrolase | <enzyme> Cleaves the cooh-terminal dipeptide his(9)-leu(10) from the decapeptide angiotensin i Registry number: EC 3.4.15.- Synonym: atypical angiotensin-converting enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| angiotensin precursor | angiotensin |
| angiotensin-related carboxypeptidase | <enzyme> Rat and bovine brain synaptosomal enzyme can hydrolyze angiotensin I to des-leu angiotensin I, but no further Registry number: EC 3.4.- Synonym: angiotensin-specific carboxypeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| receptors, angiotensin | Cell surface proteins that bind angiotensins and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behaviour of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 1-sarcosine-8-isoleucine angiotensin II | <chemical> An angiotensin II analog which acts as a highly specific inhibitor of angiotensin II. Pharmacological action: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, antihypertensive agents. Chemical name: Angiotensin II, 1-(N-methylglycine)-8-L-isoleucine- (12 Dec 1998) |
