Biochem Physiol Actions: Alamandine is an endogenous heptapeptide that can be formed from angiotensin A by angiotensin converting enzyme-2 or directly from angiotensin-(1-7) by decarboxylation of its aspartate residue. Alamandine's activity is similar to Ang-(1-7) rather than that of angiotensin II or angiotensin A. However, Alamandine acts at a different receptor, the Mas-related receptor, MrgD. Alamandine causes vasodilation, and has antifibrosis and antihypertensive activity.
