Q. Angiotensin I is converted into angiotensin II by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme secreted by
Solution:
When glomerular blood pressure or glomerular blood flow is decreased the JG cells (Cuff shaped or ring-shaped cells present in the wall of afferent arteriole) are activated, which secrete renin enzyme.
This Renin converts Angiotensinogen (made up of 453 amino acids) into angiotensin I (made up of 10 amino acids).
This angiotensin I is converted into angiotensin II (made up of 8 amino acids) in the presence of enzyme Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE), secreted from lungs.
