血管收縮素

血管收縮素（Angiotensin），亦稱血管緊張素、血管緊縮素、血管張力素，是一種寡肽類激素，是腎素-血管收縮素系統（renin-angiotensin system）的重要組成部分。血管緊張素能引起血管收縮，升高血壓；促進腎上腺皮質釋放醛固酮。它也具有很強的致渴作用。血管緊張素的前體是由肝臟合成的一種血清球蛋白：血管緊張素原。血管緊張素最早於20世紀30年代末由美國印第安納和阿根廷的研究人員分別獨立分離，並被分別命名為Angiotonin和Hypertensin，後來被美國克利夫蘭診所和瑞士巴塞爾的汽巴實驗室（Ciba Laboratories）描述併合成。

前體及種類

血管緊張素的轉化及受體

血管緊張素原

血管緊張素原是一種主要由肝臟持續合成並釋放入血液循環的α-2球蛋白。它屬於絲氨酸蛋白酶抑制物超家族（serine protease inhibitors，serpin），雖然就目前所知它不能抑制任何酶的活性。皮質激素、雌激素、甲狀腺素和血管緊張素II可增高血漿血管緊張素原含量。

血管緊張素原是腎素的底物。

人血管緊張素原包含452個氨基酸殘基，而其他物種的血管緊張素原大小有所不同。它的N-端12個氨基酸殘基由於關係到其活性而最為重要。

Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Val-Ile

血管緊張素Ⅰ

Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu

血管緊張素Ⅰ由腎素作用於血管緊張素原形成。腎素能催化血管緊張素原亮氨酸（Leu）與纈氨酸（Val）間的肽鍵水解產生十肽血管緊張素I；

血管緊張素Ⅰ基本沒有生物學活性，而是作為血管緊張素Ⅱ的前體存在。

血管緊張素Ⅱ

主條目：血管緊張素II

Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe | His-Leu

血管緊張素I經血管緊張素Ⅰ轉化酶剪切C-末端兩個氨基酸殘基而形成血管緊張素Ⅱ。血管緊張素II是一種可通過內分泌、自分泌/旁分泌以及胞內分泌發揮作用的激素。

血管緊張素Ⅱ通過血管緊張素酶降解為血管緊張素Ⅲ，其在循環系統的半衰期約為30秒，而在組織中最長可達15至30分鐘。

血管緊張素Ⅲ

Asp | Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe

相比較血管緊張素Ⅱ而言，血管緊張素Ⅲ（七肽）仍具有40%的升壓活性和100%的促醛固酮分泌活性。

血管緊張素Ⅳ

Arg | Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe

血管緊張素Ⅳ（六肽）與血管緊張素Ⅲ相似，而活性更低。

血管緊張素-(1-9)

Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His |-Leu

血管緊張素-(1-7)

Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro|-Phe
