| Angiotensin II |
Angiotensin II raises blood pressure by vasoconstriction; increased aldosterone release via direct action of angiotensin II on the vessel wall is mediated by binding to the G-protein-coupled angiotensin II receptor type 1 on vascular smooth muscle cells which stimulates Ca2+/calmodulindependent phosphorylation of myosin and causes smooth muscle contraction. |
