Angiotensin I/II (1-6) TFA is a chemical compound comprising amino acids 1-6. It is derived from the Angiotensin I/II peptide, which is formed by the cleavage of the precursor angiotensinogen by renin. The resulting Angiotensin I is then hydrolyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) to produce biologically active Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II has been extensively studied for its potential applications in the treatment of Hypertension, Renin Angiotensin System, and Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy[1][2][3].
Angiotensin II 是一种主要的生物活性血管收缩肽,通过与AT1R和AT2R受体结合,调节血压,刺激交感神经,促进醛固酮合成和肾脏功能。它还能诱导血管平滑肌细胞增生、胶原合成增加,导致血管和心肌增厚及纤维化,同时促进细胞凋亡和内皮细胞毛细血管形成。Angiotensin II常用于诱导高血压和心脏肥大动物模型。
