Angiotensin #

• Peptide Hormone. Obviously causes Vasoconstriction, and stimulates Aldosterone release.
• Renin converts angiotensinogen into Angiotensin I (proangiotensin), and Angiotensin-converting enzyme catalyzes conversion to Angiotensin II, the active hormone.
  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme also degrades Substance P and Amyloid β.
