Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor: A Target for Protection Against Hypertension, Metabolic Dysfunction, and Organ Remodeling. [PDF]
Hypertension, 2021 The renin-angiotensin system is of vital significance not only in the maintenance of blood pressure but also because of its role in the pathophysiology of different organ systems in the body.

Macrophage angiotensin II type 2 receptor triggers neuropathic pain. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Neuropathic pain is a widespread problem that is undermanaged by currently available analgesic drugs. An antagonist of the type II angiotensin II receptor (AT2R) reduces pain behaviors related to neuropathy, suggesting that angiotensin ...

Novel Pharmacology Following Heteromerization of the Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor and the Bradykinin Type 2 Receptor [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The angiotensin type 2 (AT2) receptor and the bradykinin type 2 (B2) receptor are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that have major roles in the cardiovascular system. The two receptors are known to functionally interact at various levels, and there is

Neuroprotective effect of angiotensin II type 2 receptor during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion
Neural Regeneration Research, 2016 Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) activation has been shown to protect against stroke, but its precise mechanism remains poorly understood. We investigated whether the protective effect of AT2R against ischemia/reperfusion injury is mediated by the ...

Loss of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Improves Blood Pressure in Elastin Insufficiency [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 There is ample evidence supporting a role for angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) in counterbalancing the effects of angiotensin II (ang II) through the angiotensin II type 1 receptor by promoting vasodilation and having anti-inflammatory effects ...

Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) as a novel modulator of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis synovium. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Despite increasing evidence suggesting that angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) may regulate tissue inflammation, no study has yet analyzed its possible implication in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovitis.
