Abstract
Recent studies of genetically engineered animals have established a role for the angiotensin II (AT2) receptor in cardiovascular, renal and central functions, as well as in developmental processes. This review summarizes new insights into major AT2 signaling pathways--activation of protein phosphatases, the nitric oxide-cGMP system and phospholipase A2--which have been related to specific cellular responses or functions of this receptor.Entities:
