(under subclass 300) Peptides containing at least half the amino acid residues in sequence of the polypeptide with the structure: [figure] [caption]Angiotensin I [figure] [caption]Angiotensin II
(1) Note. Physical Properties. [figure]
(2) Note. Physiological properties: Angiotensins range in size from precursors with 14 aa's to the 8aa Angiotensin II which is a vasoconstrictor. Changes in the aa content produce antagonistic or inactive compounds.
(3) Note. Synonyms. Angiotonin, Hypertensin, angiotonin. Angiotensin 1 is the 1-10 residue of Angiotensinongen (25 residues).
(4) Note. CA Registry Number of unmodified form: 1407-47-2 [figure]
