Angiotensinogen is an alpha-2-globulin that is produced constitutively and released into the circulation mainly by the liver.
It is a member of the serpin family, although it is not known to inhibit other enzymes, unlike most serpins.
Plasma angiotensinogen levels are increased by plasma corticosteroid, estrogen, thyroid hormone, and angiotensin II levels
Angiotensin is formed from a precursor, angiotensinogen, which is produced by the liver and found in the alpha-globulin fraction of plasma.
The lowering of blood pressure is a stimulus to secretion of renin by the kidney into the blood.
Renin cleaves from angiotensinogen a terminal decapeptide, angiotensin I.
This is further altered by the enzymatic removal of a dipeptide to form angiotensin II.
