Abstract
The peptide hormone angiotensin II (AII), the biologically active component of the renin-angiotensin system, regulates a variety of physiological responses including fluid homeostasis, aldosterone production, renal function and contraction of vascular smooth muscle (1). In addition, AII has actions in the central nervous system (2) and may play a role in development (3). AII binds to specific receptors that mediate intracellular Ca2+ mobilization through stimulation of phospholipase C and production of inositol trisphosphate (4), activation of Ca2+ channels (5), and inhibition of adenylate cyclase through a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein (6). Given the diversity of AII-mediated events and the differential signal transduction mechanisms, it has been proposed that multiple AII receptor subtypes exist (1,7).
