Angiotensin II

Angiotensin II is an octapeptide hormone and the primary active component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). It is a potent vasoconstrictor that also stimulates aldosterone secretion, ADH release, and sympathetic nervous system activation. It plays critical roles in cardiovascular physiology and pathology.
