Entry term(s) angiotensinogenasa
enzima formadora de angiotensina
Scope note: Endopeptidasa muy específica (Leu-Leu) que forma ANGIOTENSINA I a partir de su precursor, el ANGIOTENSINÓGENO, desencadenando una cascada de reacciones que elevan la PRESIÓN ARTERIAL y aumentan la retención renal de sodio en el SISTEMA RENINA-ANGIOTENSINA. La enzima fue clasificada anteriormente como 3.4.99.19.

Scope note: 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. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
