Biological Activity

[Description]:

Angiotensin I/II 1-6 contains the amino acids 1-6 and is converted from Angiotensin I/II peptide. Angiotensin I is formed by the action of renin on angiotensinogen. Angiotensin II is produced from angiotensin I. Angiotensin II has been investigated for the treatment, basic science, and diagnostic of Hypertension, Renin Angiotensin System, and Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy[1][2][3].
