A peptide hormone
Angiotensin II is a peptide hormone known best as a vasoconstrictor with central roles in chronic hypertension, heart failure, and stroke.1 It is an octapeptide typically generated by the removal of two residues from angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).2 Angiotensin II is a ligand for at least two distinct receptors, AT1 and AT2, each evoking distinct signaling pathways and physiological responses.1,3 The development of antagonists for specific angiotensin II receptor subtypes represents a valuable alternative to ACE inhibitors.4
