Receptors | Angiotensin Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesEncyclopedia of Biological Chemistry III, 2021
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) is a vital hormone-receptor system that regulates cardiovascular and renal functions. In this article, we discuss exciting new findings in the RAS field. Recently solved active state crystal structures of Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 receptor (AT2R) helped in understanding receptor activation ...

Angiotensin receptors and neuropathic pain

open access: yesPAIN Reports, 2021
Abstract Growing evidence implicates the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) in multiple facets of neuropathic pain (NP). This narrative review focuses primarily on the major bioactive RAS peptide, Angiotensin II (Ang II), and its receptors, namely type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 (AT2R).

Angiotensin Receptors in the Brain [PDF]

open access: yesPharmacology & Toxicology, 1995
Abstract:Angiotensin receptors have recently become a focus of scientific interest due to the recent development of specific receptor ligands which allow to distinguish between various angiotensin II receptor subtypes, notably the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) and angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2).

Atypical angiotensin II receptors coupled to phosphoinositide turnover/calcium signalling in catfish hepatocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
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 ...

Signaling pathways involved in renal oxidative injury: role of the vasoactive peptides and the renal dopaminergic system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The physiological hydroelectrolytic balance and the redox steady state in the kidney are accomplished by an intricate interaction between signals from extrarenal and intrarenal sources and between antinatriuretic and natriuretic factors.

Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9): function in cardiac and vascular remodeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is integral to cardiovascular physiology, however, dysregulation of this system largely contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Electronic sculpting of ligand-GPCR subtype selectivity:the case of angiotensin II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
GPCR subtypes possess distinct functional and pharmacological profiles, and thus development of subtype-selective ligands has immense therapeutic potential.

Angiotensin receptors in GtoPdb v.2023.1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The actions of angiotensin II (Ang II) are mediated by AT1 and AT2 receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Angiotensin receptors [63, 155]), which have around 30% sequence similarity.

Anti‐atherosclerotic effect of the angiotensin 1–7 mimetic AVE0991 is mediated by inhibition of perivascular and plaque inflammation in early atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background and Purpose: Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. A protective role of angiotensin-(1-7) in vascular pathologies opened a possibility for therapeutic use of small molecule non-peptide Ang-(1-7) mimetics, such as AVE0991.
