免 疫 原：KLH conjugated synthetic peptide of human Angiotensin I(C-DRVYIHPFHL)
SWISS：P01019
Gene ID ：183
Human Gene ID：183
CAS：3

The protein encoded by this gene, pre-angiotensinogen or angiotensinogen precursor, is expressed in the liver and is cleaved by the enzyme renin in response to lowered blood pressure. The resulting product, angiotensin I is then cleaved by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to generate the physiologically active enzyme angiotensin II. The protein is involved in maintaining blood pressure and in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension and preeclampsia.
active peptide sequence:DRVYIHPFHL
Function：Essential component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a potent regulator of blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.
Angiotensin-2: acts directly on vascular smooth muscle as a potent vasoconstrictor, affects cardiac contractility a
Subunit：During pregnancy, exists as a disulfide-linked 2:2 heterotetramer with the proform of PRG2 and as a complex (probably a 2:2:2 heterohexamer) with pro-PRG2 and C3dg.
Subcellular Location：Secreted.
Tissue Specificity：Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.
Post-translational modifications：Beta-decarboxylation of Asp-34 in angiotensin-2, by mononuclear leukocytes produces alanine. The resulting peptide form, angiotensin-A, has the same affinity for the AT1 receptor as angiotensin-2, but a higher affinity for the AT2 receptor.
In response
DISEASE：Essential hypertension (EHT) [MIM:145500]: A condition in which blood pressure is consistently higher than normal with no identifiable cause. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Renal
Similarity：Belongs to the serpin family.
