Angiotensin II, Human

Angiotensin II, DRVYIHPF, is the major biologically active component of the renin-angiotensin system. Its activities include the regulation of blood pressure, salt and water balance, and vascular tonus. Ang II stimulates various enzymes such as NADPH oxidase. Ang II is often used as a model compound in the development and evaluation of analytical methods for peptides and proteins (e.g. MS).
