Descriptor angiotensinas
Entry term(s) angiotensina
Scope note: Oligopéptidos que tienen una función importante en la regulación de la presión sanguínea (VASOCONSTRICCIÓN) y la homeostasis de los líquidos a través del SISTEMA RENINA-ANGIOTENSINA. En este grupo se incluyen tanto las angiotensinas que se producen naturalmente a partir del ANGIOTENSINÓGENO como las sintéticas.
