Research progress on the function of angiotensin Ⅱ receptors in tumor / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

AngiotensinⅡ is a biologically activated peptide of the rennin-angiotensin system(RAS).Beside constracting vascular and regulating blood pressure,AngⅡplays an important role in the development of tumor,inflammation and angiogenesis.The expression and major intracellular signaling pathways of AngⅡ and AngⅡ receptors in tumor are reviewed.
