Angiotensins are peptide hormone components of the renin-angiotensin system involved in the regulation of blood vessel constriction and aldosterone release. Angiotensin I, a decapeptide derived from angiotensinogen, is a converted to Angiotensin II by the removal of the two C-terminal amino acids. Various analogues of Angiotensins I and II made by amino acid substitution are used in structure and sequence studies to analyze and differentiate the functions of natural angiotensins.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease in developed countries where type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportions. Although the exact pathogenesis of DN is not fully understood and is likely diverse in nature, there
Novel concept in the mechanism of injury and protection of gastric mucosa: role of Renin-Angiotensin system and active metabolites of Angiotensin.
Angiotensin II (AII) is the active octapeptide product of the renin enzymatic cascade, which is responsible for sustaining blood pressure. In an attempt to establish the AII-receptor-bound conformation of this octapeptide, we designed conformationally constrained analogues by scanning the entire
