Angiotensin II-Real-Life Use and Literature Review. [PDF]
Angiotensin II is a recently introduced vasopressor, which has been available since 2017. The novelty and the relatively high cost of angiotensin II currently limit its broader application.

Angiotensin II cyclic analogs as tools to investigate AT1R biased signaling mechanisms [PDF]
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) produce pleiotropic effects by their capacity to engage numerous signaling pathways once activated. Functional selectivity (also called biased signaling), where specific compounds can bring GPCRs to adopt conformations that enable selective receptor coupling to distinct signaling pathways, continues to be ...

Atypical angiotensin II receptors coupled to phosphoinositide turnover/calcium signalling in catfish hepatocytes [PDF]
In catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) hepatocytes angiotensin II induced an immediate increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. Other angiotensin analogues also induced this effect including: human angiotensin II, fish angiotensin II, human angiotensin III ...

Conversion and degradation of [125I] labelled angiotensin I in isolated perfused porcine coronary and carotid arteries [PDF]
The aims were (1) to quantitate angiotensin I to II conversion on the endothelial surface and at deeper sites in isolated arteries, (2) to assess whether the angiotensin II that is formed at deeper sites is released into the vascular lumen, and (3) to ...

Label-free cell signaling pathway deconvolution of Angiotensin type 1 receptor reveals time-resolved G-protein activity and distinct AngII and AngIII\IV responses [PDF]
Angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptor (AT1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor known for its role in numerous physiological processes and its implication in many vascular diseases. Its functions are mediated through G protein dependent and independent signaling pathways. AT1R has several endogenous peptidic agonists, all derived from angiotensinogen, as

Tetracycline as an inhibitor to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 remains an extant threat against public health on a global scale. Cell infection begins when the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds with the cell receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Here, we address the role of Tetracycline as an inhibitor for the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein.
