What is ANG II?
An 8-amino-acid peptide hormone that binds angiotensin receptors to drive vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, and thirst. It is a major signaling effector of the renin-angiotensin system.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
endocrine
vasoconstrictor
cardiovascular
Research Summary
Well-characterized endogenous peptide central to blood pressure homeostasis and fluid balance. Approved angiotensin II products are used for vasodilatory shock.
Related Peptides
IGF-1
Insulin-like growth factor 1
A 70-amino-acid peptide that signals through IGF1R to activate PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways. It mediates anabolic growth, cell survival, and tissue repair in endocrine and local paracrine signaling.
Signal PeptidesAVP
Arginine vasopressin
A nonapeptide hormone that acts at V1 and V2 receptors to regulate vascular tone and renal water reabsorption. It is a core mediator of osmotic homeostasis and blood pressure control.
Signal PeptidesBK
Bradykinin
A nonapeptide generated from kininogen during inflammation and tissue injury. It activates B1/B2 receptors to produce vasodilation, pain, and vascular permeability.
Signal PeptidesET-1
Endothelin-1
A 21-amino-acid peptide with two disulfide bonds that is among the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictors. It signals through ETA and ETB receptors to control vascular tone and smooth muscle growth.
