Angiotensin 1-9 vs Relaxin-2

Angiotensin 1-9 vs Relaxin-2 — mechanism, half-life, dosing, and research status compared. Which is right for your protocol?

Angiotensin 1-9
Cardiovascular Peptide

Angiotensin 1-9 (Ang 1-9) is a 9-amino acid peptide formed when ACE2 cleaves the C-terminal leucine from angiotensin I (Ang I, 10 AA). Discovered as part of the counter-regulatory renin-angiotensin system (RAS), Ang 1-9 opposes the hypertensive and tissue-damaging actions of angi...

Relaxin-2
Cardiovascular Peptide

Relaxin-2 (H2 Relaxin) is an endogenous peptide hormone of the insulin superfamily, best known for its roles in pregnancy physiology including cervical ripening, uterine quiescence, and connective tissue remodeling. Beyond reproduction, relaxin-2 is a systemic anti-fibrotic and v...
