Angiotensin ( Angiotensin )

Data sheet

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Angiotensin in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml or more than 10 mg/ml solutions.

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by RP-HPLC.

Description

Angiotensin contains a total of 8 amino acids having a molecular weight of 1031.2 Dalton and a molecular formula of C49H70N14O11.

Protein Background

Angiotensin is an oligopeptide in the blood that causes vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, and release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. It is a powerful dipsogen. It is derived from the precursor molecule angiotensinogen, a serum globulin

Expression host

Synthetic.

Synonyms

Angiotensinogen, Serpin A8, ANHU, SERPINA8.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered white lyophilized powder.

Stability

Lyophilized Angiotensin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Serpin A8 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Amino acid sequence

Asn-Arg-Val-Tyr-Val-His-Pro-Phe-OH.
