A family of peptides that constrict blood vessels. Narrowing the diameter of the blood vessels causes blood pressure to rise.

hormone that regulates the constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels.

Blood protein formed from the interaction of renin and a liver protein, causing increased blood pressure and stimulating release of aldosterone and ADH. Angstrom

(n) any of several vasoconstrictor substances (trade name Hypertensin) that cause narrowing of blood vessels

A protein that raises blood pressure by narrowing blood vessels and causing the kidneys to store more sodium and water.

Oligopeptides which are important in the Regulation of Blood Pressure (Vasoconstriction) and fluid Homeostasis via the Renin-Angiotensin System. These include angiotensins derived naturally from precu [..]

<hormone> A family of oligopeptides ranging in size from angiotensin precursors with 14 amino acids to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II with 8 amino acids, or their analogs or derivatives. The amino acid content varies with the species and changes in that content produce antagonistic or inactive compounds. Angiotensinogen (renin subs [..]
