We have discovered a non-AT(1), non-AT(2) angiotensin binding site in rodent and human brain membranes, which, based on its pharmacological/biochemical properties and tissue distribution, is different from angiotensin receptors and key proteases processing angiotensins. In this study, the novel angiotensin
