Should not change clinical practice; leaves open whether shorter angiotensin peptides act as endogenous AT2R ligands.
Shorter angiotensin peptides such as AngIV and Ang-(1-7) demonstrate substantial AT2R selectivity over AT1R, suggesting they can act as endogenous ligands at AT2R.
Bosnyak et al. (2011) studied this question.
