Second Messengers for Brain Angiotensin Receptor Subtypes

  • Chapter
Angiotensin Receptors

Abstract

Angiotensin II (ANG II) is an octapeptide produced in many tissues from its precursor molecules by subsequent cleavage by the enzymes renin and angiotensin converting enzyme.1–3 In the brain all components of this renin-angiotensin system are present.1,2,3 ANG II is involved in the central regulation of cardiovascular function, drinking and fluid metabolism, salt appetite, pituitary hormone release, and stress.1,2,4,–6
