Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Scope note

  • A decapeptide that is cleaved from precursor angiotensinogen by RENIN. Angiotensin I has limited biological activity. It is converted to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME.

History note

  • 87(78); was see under ANGIOTENSINS 1978-86
