Angiotensin receptor mediated regulation of transport in the rat proximal tubule

Abstract

The intracellular mechanism of Ang II action, as supported by the present data, may be summarized by the following: Ang II interacts with its receptors, leading to an increase in cytosolic Ca+2 by mobilization of Ca+2 from intracellular pools. This rise in cytosolic Ca+2 initiates the activation of calmodulin-regulated enzymes. This then leads to inhibition of both JV and JHCO3-.
