| Abstract |
The binding of [3H]angiotensin II to AT1 receptors on Chinese Hamster Ovary cells expressing the human AT1 receptor (CHO-AT1 cells) is potently inhibited by venoms of the marine snails Conus geographus and C. betulinus. On the other hand, the binding of the nonpeptide AT1 receptor-selective antagonist [3H]candesartan is not affected but competition binding curves of angiotensin II and the peptide antagonist [Sar1,Ile8]angiotensin II (sarile) are shifted to the right. These effects resulted from the breakdown of angiotensin II into smaller fragments that do not bind to the AT1 receptor. In this context, angiotensin-(1–7) is the most prominent fragment and angiotensin-(1–4) and angiotensin-(1–5) are also formed but to a lesser extent. The molecular weight of the involved peptidases exceeds 50 kDa, as determined by gel chromatography and ultrafitration. |
