Additional Angiotensin AT2 Receptor Peptides

The angiotensin₂ receptor (AT₂) is a member of the angiotensin receptor group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes AT₁ and AT₄. They are located primarily in the brain, adrenal medulla, heart and uterus where they counterbalance the effects of the AT₁ receptor. The human AT₂ receptor gene has been localized to chromosome X (Xq22-q23).
