Description

Angiotensin II is a peptide hormone that regulates blood pressure and water balance. It is an important component of the renin-angiotensin system, which causes vasoconstriction and release of aldosterone from the adrenal gland. Angiotensin II binds to angiotensin receptors on cells, initiating a second messenger cascade that results in increased blood pressure and electrolyte retention. Val5-Angiotensin II is a synthetic form of this hormone that has been shown to increase glomerular filtration rate by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II also stimulates epidermal growth factor, which may be responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects. The optimum pH for Val5-Angiotensin II is between 7.0 and 8.0.
