High impact information on Agtr2

  • The angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor promotes axonal regeneration in the optic nerve of adult rats [8].
  • Here we report that ANG II via its ANG II type 2 (AT2) receptor promotes the axonal elongation of postnatal rat retinal explants (postnatal day 11) and dorsal root ganglia neurons in vitro, and, moreover, axonal regeneration of retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve crush in vivo [8].
  • Among the effector peptides of the brain RAS, angiotensin II and angiotensin III have the same affinity for the two pharmacologically well-defined receptors: type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) [9].
  • L-arginine (L-ARG) given intravenously or interstitially enhanced net fluid absorption and cGMP formation, which were completely blocked by the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME), but not by the specific AT2 receptor antagonist, PD-123319 (PD) [10].
  • We examined potential mechanisms by which angiotensin subtype-2 (AT2) receptor stimulation induces net fluid absorption and serosal guanosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) formation in the rat jejunum [10].
