Introduction:

Angiotensin II is an octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal
of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different
species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS
or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.

Function

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) help relax your blood vessels, which lowers your blood pressure and makes it
easier for your heart to pump blood.
Angiotensin is a chemical in your body that affects your cardiovascular system in various ways, including narrowing your
blood vessels. This narrowing can increase your blood pressure and force your heart to work harder.

Application

 Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and a subsequent increase in blood pressure. It is part of the renin-angiotensin system, which is a major target for drugs that lower blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone, 
another hormone, from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone promotes sodium retention in the distal nephron, in the kidney, which also drives 
blood pressure up. 
 
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 an important role in the renin-angiotensin system.
