Significance of angiotensin 1–7 coupling with MAS1 receptor and other GPCRs to the renin‐angiotensin system: IUPHAR Review 22

Angiotensins are a group of hormonal peptides and include angiotensin II and angiotensin 1–7 produced by the renin angiotensin system. The biology, pharmacology and biochemistry of the receptors for angiotensins were extensively reviewed recently. In the review, the receptor nomenclature committee was not emphatic on designating MAS1 as the angiotensin 1–7 receptor on the basis of lack of classical G protein signalling and desensitization in...
