Basic description
|
Angiotensin II (ANG II) is an important physiological effector of blood pressure and volume regulation through vasoconstriction, sodium uptake, the release of aldosterone, and the stimulation of thirst. Angiotensin II is mediated by its interaction with, Angiotensin II type 1 membrane receptors.
