Entry terms

  • Angiotensin II, Des-Asp
  • Des Asp Angiotensin II
  • Des-Asp Angiotensin II
  • Des Aspartyl Angiotensin II
  • Des-Aspartyl-Angiotensin II

Scope note

  • A heptapeptide formed from ANGIOTENSIN II after the removal of an amino acid at the N-terminal by AMINOPEPTIDASE A. Angiotensin III has the same efficacy as ANGIOTENSIN II in promoting ALDOSTERONE secretion and modifying renal blood flow, but less vasopressor activity (about 40%).

History note

  • 91(77); was see under ANGIOTENSIN II 1977-90
