Angiotensin II is a key vasoactive peptide that elevates blood pressure via AT1R and AT2R receptors, driving vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, and cellular remodeling. It is extensively used in research to establish in vivo models of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy and for in vitro studies of vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cell function.
