- Renin-angiotensin system [r]: A blood pressure regulating system of interacting components that include renin; angiotensinogen; angiotensin converting enzyme; angiotensin I; angiotensin II; and angiotensinase. [e]
- Renin [r]: A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates angiotensin I from its precursor angiotensinogen, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate blood pressure and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the renin-angiotensin system. [e]
- Angiotensin [r]: 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 precursor angiotensinogen, and those synthesized. [e]
- Angiotensin receptor [r]: Cell surface proteins that bind angiotensins and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. [e]
- Angiotensin II receptor antagonist
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor [r]: Drugs mainly used to treat hypertension and heart failure, by hemodynamic effect inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. [e]
