What Is an Angiotensinogen?
Angiotensinogen, encoded by the AGT gene, is a rate-limiting substrate of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Angiotensin I (ANGI) is catalyzed by reninase. ANG I is produced by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ANG II regulates blood pressure. RAS is involved in kidney injury.
