ANGIOTENSIN IV

Description:

Angiotensin IV is a peptide that plays a significant role in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. It is derived from the angiotensin II peptide through enzymatic cleavage. Angiotensin IV is known to interact with specific receptors, influencing various physiological processes, including vasodilation and modulation of renal function. The substance is characterized by its relatively small molecular size and specific amino acid sequence, which is crucial for its biological activity. It is primarily studied in the context of cardiovascular health and potential therapeutic applications in conditions such as hypertension and heart failure. Additionally, Angiotensin IV has been investigated for its neuroprotective properties and its role in cognitive functions. Its CAS number, 12676-15-2, is a unique identifier that facilitates the identification and study of this compound in scientific literature and databases. Overall, Angiotensin IV is an important molecule in the renin-angiotensin system, contributing to various physiological and pathological processes.

Angiotensin IV Trifluoroacetate

CAS: 12676-15-2

Angiotensin-IV is primarily produced from angiotensin-III by the removal of an arginine residue from the N-terminal by membrane alanyl aminopeptidase N (AP-N). Ang-IV can however also be formed by the action of aminopeptidases on Ang-I directly.Ang-IV has been shown to enhance cognitive functions, although how it does this in still unclear. It has been suggested that Ang-IV is able to inhibit the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) receptor in the brain (originally defined as the AT(4) receptor). IRAP is a single-spanning transmembrane zinc-metallopeptidase that belongs to the M1 family of aminopeptidases and its substrates include vasopressin, somatostatin, and cholecystokinin. The half-life of these compounds are prolonged when IRAP is inhibited by Ang-IV, and this may result in the enhanced cognitive abilities seen with Ang-IV treatment. c-Met, a tyrosine kinase receptor that binds hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has also been proposed as an Ang IV targets. c-Met is associated with memory and learning consolidation.

Angiotensin IV trifluoroacetate

CAS: 12676-15-2

Angiotensin IV trifluoroacetate is an active analogue of angiotensin. It has been shown to have a high affinity for AT1 receptors and is able to enhance the uptake of angiotensin in proximal tubules, which may be due to its ability to bind DNA. Angiotensin IV trifluoroacetate has also been shown to have beneficial effects on skin cells, such as the reduction of skin inflammation and alleviation of pain. Angiotensin IV trifluoroacetate has shown anti-inflammatory activities, which may be due to its ability to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α. This drug also binds to the CD4 receptor, thereby inhibiting inflammatory responses in autoimmune diseases.
