Product Information

• Name: [Sar1,Ala8]-Angiotensin II
• Synonyms: Sar-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Ala • AcOH • 4H2O
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Angiotensin II is a peptide hormone that is part of the renin-angiotensin system. It is used as an antagonist to study the effects of angiotensin in the cardiovascular system. Angiotensin II has been shown to decrease blood pressure by acting on specific receptors that are found on cells in the walls of blood vessels. These receptors cause constriction of these vessels and the release of aldosterone, which increases sodium retention and decreases potassium excretion. This leads to increased blood volume, which results in decreased blood pressure.
