Angiotensin 2 [3-8] Peptide

Brand

Abbiotec

Description

In response to lowered blood pressure, the renin enzyme cleaves angiotensin-1 from angiotensin. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) then removes a dipeptide to yield the physiologically active peptide angiotensin-2, the most potent pressor substance known, which helps regulate volume and mineral balance of body fluids. The Angiotensin 2 [3-8] Peptide binds specifically to a new angiotensin binding site distinct from angiotensin 2 receptors.
