説明

<jats:p> The renin–angiotensin system plays a critical role in blood pressure control and body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Besides angiotensin (Ang) II, other Ang peptides, such as Ang III [Ang-(2–8)], Ang IV [Ang-(3–8)], and Ang-(1–7) may also have important biological activities. Ang-(1–7) has become an angiotensin of interest in the past few years, because its cardiovascular and baroreflex actions counteract those of Ang II. Unique angiotensin-binding sites specific for this heptapeptide and studies with a selective Ang-(1–7) antagonist indicated the existence of a distinct Ang-(1–7) receptor. We demonstrate that genetic deletion of the G protein-coupled receptor encoded by the <jats:italic>Mas</jats:italic> protooncogene abolishes the binding of Ang-(1–7) to mouse kidneys. Accordingly, <jats:italic>Mas</jats:italic> -deficient mice completely lack the antidiuretic action of Ang-(1–7) after an acute water load. Ang-(1–7) binds to <jats:italic>Mas</jats:italic> -transfected cells and elicits arachidonic acid release. Furthermore, Mas-deficient aortas lose their Ang-(1–7)-induced relaxation response. Collectively, these findings identify Mas as a functional receptor for Ang-(1–7) and provide a clear molecular basis for the physiological actions of this biologically active peptide. </jats:p>
