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

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 ...

Beneficial Effect of Mas Receptor Deficiency on Vascular Cognitive Impairment in the Presence of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe classical renin‐angiotensin system is known as the angiotensin (Ang)‐converting enzyme/Ang II/Ang type 1 receptor axis, which induces various organ damage including cognitive decline.

Angiotensin II type 2 receptor promotes apoptosis and inhibits angiogenesis in bladder cancer [PDF]

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2017
Background Bladder cancer (BCa) is the ninth most common form of cancer in the world. There is a continuing need not only for improving the accuracy of diagnostic markers but also for the development of new treatment strategies. Recent studies have shown

Does activation of the protective Renin-Angiotensin System have therapeutic potential in COVID-19?

Molecular Medicine, 2020
Infection of lung cells by the corona virus results in a loss of the balance between, on the one hand, angiotensin II-mediated stimulation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and, on the other hand, stimulation of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor and/

Evolution of Angiotensin Peptides and Peptidomimetics as Angiotensin II Receptor Type 2 (AT2) Receptor Agonists

Biomolecules, 2020
Angiotensin II receptor type 1 and 2 (AT1R and AT2R) are two G-protein coupled receptors that mediate most biological functions of the octapeptide Angiotensin II (Ang II).

Double Deletion of Angiotensin II Type 2 and Mas Receptors Accelerates Aging‐Related Muscle Weakness in Male Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The activation of AT2 (angiotensin II type 2 receptor ) and Mas receptor by angiotensin II and angiotensin‐(1‐7), respectively, is the primary process that counteracts activation of the canonical renin‐angiotensin system (RAS).
