How does angiotensin AT2 receptor activation help neuronal differentiation and improve neuronal pathological situations?
The AT2 receptor of angiotensin II (Ang II) has long been thought to be limited to few tissues, with the primary effect of counteracting the AT1 receptor. Functional studies in neuronal cells have demonstrated AT2 receptor capability to modulate neuronal excitability, neurite elongation, and neurona...
