[Val5]-Angiotensin II acetate salt hydrate has been used to induce:renal damage in mice to study the role of human liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (hL-FABP)vascular inflammation in mice to study the interaction of cytosolic copper chaperone antioxidant-1 (Atox1) with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-receptor-associated factor 4 (TRAF4)abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in mice to study the role of vascular ATPase copper transporting ? (ATP7?)
Biochem/physiol Actions
[Val5]-Angiotensin II acts as an agonist for the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1 receptor).
General description
[Val5]-Angiotensin II ([Val5]-ANG II) is an ANG II analog containing valine as the fifth amino acid in place of isoleucine in an ANG II octapeptide.
