NCIt synonyms : Ang 1-7; Therapeutic Angiotensin 1-7;
NCIt related terms : ANGIOTENSIN 1-7;
NCIt definition : A synthetic heptapeptide identical to endogenous angiotensin-(1-7) with vasodilator
and antiproliferative activities. Therapeutic angiotensin 1-7 may inhibit cyclooxygenase
2 (COX-2) and the production of proinflammatory prostaglandins and may activate the
angiotensin-(1-7) receptor Mas, resulting in diminished tumor cell proliferation.
Activation of the angiotensin-(1-7) receptor Mas, a G-protein coupled, seven transmembrane
protein, may down-regulate the phosphorylation and activation of Erk1 and Erk2 in
the Erk1/Erk2 MAPK signaling pathway. In the renin-angiotensin system, the vasodilating
activity of angiotensin- (1-7), hydrolysed from angiotensin II by the type I transmembrane
metallopeptidase and carboxypeptidase angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in vivo,
counteracts the vasoconstricting activity of angiotensin II.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of several types of cancer.
Therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) is a hormone that is made in the laboratory, and helps
control blood pressure. It may stop the growth of some types of cancer cells and may
stop the growth of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. It is a type of antiproliferative
agent.;
