Angiotensin I is a ten amino acid peptide formed by Renin cleavage of Angiotensinogen (Renin Substrate) I. Angiotensin I has little biological activity except that high levels cand stimulate Catecholamine production. It is metabolized to its biologically active byproduct Angiotensin II by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE). The formation of Angiotensin I is controlled by negative feedback of Angiotensin II and III on Renin release and by Aldosterone concentration. Levels of Angiotensin I are increased in many types of hypertension. Angiotensin I levels are used to determine Renin activity. Angiotensin I is excreted directly in the urine.
