Angiotensin: What It Is, Causes & Function - Cleveland Clinic
Angiotensin is a hormone that helps regulate your blood pressure by constricting (narrowing) blood vessels and triggering water and salt (sodium) intake . Hormones are chemicals that coordinate functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs, muscles and other tissues.

angiotensin
angiotensin, n. Biochem. (ˌændʒɪəʊˈtɛnsɪn) [f. angio- + hypertensin n.] 1. A powerful vascoconstricting polypeptide which stimulates the production of aldosterone and vasopressin and results in an increase in blood pressure (more fully angiotensin II); angiotensin I, the inactive precursor of this, ...

Why is angiotensin converting enzyme localized in the lungs I understand that it's also found elsewhere, such as in renal capillaries, but I can't see logic behind it being located in the lungs. Isn't ACE's function, ...
ACE is present on the luminal surface of vascular endothelia throughout the body and is abundantly present in the **endothelium-rich lungs**. ACE in the kidney—particularly in the endothelial cells of the afferent and efferent arterioles— can produce enough ANG II to exert local vascular effects. Th...

Angiotensin II (medication)
Angiotensin II is a naturally occurring hormone secreted as part of the renin-angiotensin system that results in powerful systemic vasoconstriction. Angiotensin II acts on Angiotensin receptor (AT1) on presynaptic adrenergic nerves → release of catecholamine → excessive catecholamine can be harmful
