Angiotensin-(1–7) activates growth-stimulatory pathways in human mesangial cells

J Zimpelmann, KD Burns - American Journal of Physiology …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
Angiotensin-(1–7)[Ang-(1–7)] is generated in part via ACE2-dependent degradation of
angiotensin II (ANG II). In proximal tubular cells, Ang-(1–7) inhibits ANG II-stimulated …

Angiotensin-(1–7) activates a tyrosine phosphatase and inhibits glucose-induced signalling in proximal tubular cells
