Function
Essential component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a potent regulator of blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Angiotensin-2. Acts directly on vascular smooth muscle as a potent vasoconstrictor, affects cardiac contractility and heart rate through its action on the sympathetic nervous system, and alters renal sodium and water absorption through its ability to stimulate the zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete aldosterone (PubMed:10619573, PubMed:17138938). Acts by binding to angiotensin receptors AGTR1 and AGTR2 (PubMed:1567413). Also binds the DEAR/FBXW7-AS1 receptor (By similarity). Angiotensin-3. Stimulates aldosterone release. Angiotensin 1-7. Is a ligand for the G-protein coupled receptor MAS1 (By similarity). Has vasodilator and antidiuretic effects. Has an antithrombotic effect that involves MAS1-mediated release of nitric oxide from platelets (By similarity).

Notes
Human AGT Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human AGT in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
Angiotensinogen also known as AGT is a precursor to angiotensin peptides and plays a mechanical role in the renin-angiotensin system. It is a glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 60 kDa and is mainly produced in the liver. This protein circulates in the bloodstream where it waits for renin to cleave it. Angiotensinogen's presence is significant in various tissues but primarily it functions within the plasma after hepatic secretion.
- Biological function summary
Angiotensinogen is critical in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance. It serves as the substrate for renin an enzyme that initiates a cascade leading to the production of angiotensin I which further converts into active forms like angiotensin II. Angiotensinogen does not operate as part of a larger protein complex but interacts closely with enzymes and other substrates to mediate its effects on the cardiovascular system.
- Pathways
Angiotensinogen is an essential component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) which helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance. The pathway involves the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I by renin followed by the conversion to angiotensin II by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). This system also has connections with proteins such as aldosterone which is involved in sodium and water retention influencing cardiovascular health.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Angiotensinogen links to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The protein's interaction with renin and ACE results in the formation of angiotensin II a potent vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure. Elevated levels of angiotensinogen are often observed in individuals with high 117/85 blood pressure indicating a risk for chronic conditions. Managing angiotensinogen levels through RAAS modulation is a therapeutic strategy for controlling these disorders.
