Description : Angiotensinogen, also known as AGT and SerpinA8, is a member of the serpin family. It is an α-2-globulin that is produced constitutively and released into the circulation mainly by the liver. Angiotensinogen is a essential component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and a potent regulator of blood pressure. Angiotensinogen can be schematically considered to consist of a combination of an angiotensin I (Ang I) function, located at the N-terminal end, and the presence of a serpin (serine protease inhibitor) structure at the opposite end. Angiotensinogen is cleaved into three chains: Angiotensin-1 (Ang I), Angiotensin-2 (Ang II), and Angiotensin-3 (Ang III). Angiotensin-1 is a substrate of ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) that removes a dipeptide to yield the physiologically active peptide angiotensin-2. Angiotensin-1 and angiotensin-2 can be further processed to generate angiotensin-3, angiotensin-4. Angiotensin 1-7 is cleaved from angiotensin-2 by ACE2. Angiotensin-2 acts directly on vascular smooth muscle as a potent vasoconstrictor, affects cardiac contractility and heart rate through its action on the sympathetic nervous system. Defects in AGT are associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension and renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD). Several serpins (antithrombin, maspin, pigment epithelial-derived factor, and kallistatin) have been recently shown to exert an antiangiogenic activity, suggesting a common mechanism of endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Angiotensinogen/AGT and its renin-cleaved product, des(Ang I)AGT, are also angiogenesis inhibitors, both in vitro and in vivo at concentrations within the range of those observed in plasma. The Angiotensinogen products, that is angiotensin II and possibly angiotensin II-related products, have been found to act locally in modulating adipose tissue growth in an autocrine/paracrine manner. The transient or chronic overexpression of angiotensinogen in adipose tissue favors lipogenesis in adipocytes and leads to a 'vicious' circle whereby adipose tissue development is further increased.

Q&As (10)

Ask a question
How is AGT linked to kidney function? 11/19/2022

AGT is produced and released by the kidneys, and it plays a role in regulating renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, thereby impacting overall kidney function.

What is the role of AGT in the renin-angiotensin system? 01/14/2022

AGT is the precursor molecule for angiotensin peptides, including angiotensin I and angiotensin II, which are key regulators of blood pressure, fluid balance, and cardiovascular homeostasis.

How is AGT involved in blood pressure regulation? 10/12/2021

AGT-derived angiotensin II plays a critical role in vasoconstriction, sodium reabsorption, and the regulation of aldosterone secretion, all of which influence blood pressure.

Does AGT have a role in the central nervous system? 08/26/2020

AGT and the renin-angiotensin system have been implicated in the central regulation of blood pressure, fluid balance, and neuroendocrine functions.

How is AGT activated in the renin-angiotensin system? 07/15/2020

AGT is cleaved by the enzyme renin to generate angiotensin I, which is subsequently converted to angiotensin II by the enzyme angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

What factors regulate AGT expression? 06/20/2020

AGT expression is regulated by various factors, including hormones (such as aldosterone and glucocorticoids), cytokines, and environmental stimuli.

How does AGT contribute to inflammation and tissue remodeling? 10/03/2019

AGT and its derivatives, such as angiotensin II, can promote inflammation and tissue remodeling through interactions with receptors and signaling pathways.

What techniques are used to study AGT function and regulation? 03/12/2019

Experimental techniques used to study AGT include molecular biology approaches, gene expression analysis, protein quantification, immunohistochemistry, and animal models.

Can genetic variations in AGT affect disease susceptibility? 08/18/2018

Genetic variations in the AGT gene have been associated with an increased risk of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and other conditions influenced by the renin-angiotensin system.

How is AGT involved in pregnancy-related disorders? 06/04/2018

AGT levels and the renin-angiotensin system play a role in regulating blood pressure during pregnancy, and dysregulation can contribute to disorders such as preeclampsia.
