Angiotensin 1-9 vs Urocortin

Angiotensin 1-9 vs Urocortin — 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...

Urocortin
Cardiovascular Peptide

Urocortin 1 (UCN1) is a 40-amino acid peptide belonging to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family. While sharing structural homology with CRF, UCN1 binds with higher affinity to CRF receptor type 2 (CRFR2), which predominates in the heart, skeletal muscle, and peripheral...
