The aim is to explore the distribution, signalling pathways, and functions of angiotensin II receptors.
Review of recent literature on angiotensin II receptors and their signaling pathways.
Analysis of the functions of AT(1) and AT(2) receptors in cardiovascular regulation.
AT(1) receptor primarily mediates vasoconstriction, sympathetic transmission, and aldosterone release.
AT(2) receptor is associated with anti-proliferative effects, cellular differentiation, apoptosis, and vasodilatation.
The understanding of angiotensin receptors has advanced, particularly regarding their distinct roles in cardiovascular health.
