Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin II stimulates aldosterone secretion from the adrenal zona glomerulosa and mediates most of its biological effects via G protein-coupled type 1 angiotensin II receptors (AT1). A number of G protein-coupled receptors are constitutively activated as a result of somatic mutations in the gene encoding the protein. It is, therefore, possible that primary hyperaldosteronism caused by an aldosterone-producing...
