<p><b>New page</b></p><div>When [[Kidney#Blood supply|renal blood flow]] is reduced, [[juxtaglomerular cell]]s in the kidneys convert the precursor [[prorenin]] (already present in the blood) into [[renin]] and secrete it directly into the [[circulatory system|circulation]]. Plasma renin then carries out the conversion of [[angiotensinogen]], released by the [[liver]], to a decapeptide called [[angiotensin I]]. Angiotensin I is subsequently converted to [[angiotensin II]] (an octapeptide) by the [[angiotensin-converting enzyme]] (ACE) found on the surface of vascular endothelial cells, predominantly those of the [[lung]]s. Angiotensin II has a short life of about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, it is rapidly degraded into a heptapeptide called [[angiotensin III]] by angiotensinases which are present in [[red blood cell]]s and vascular beds in many tissues.</div>FuzzyBot
