Angiotenzin je protein koji se pod uticajem enzima renina daje angiotenzin I, čije se proteinsko tijelo sastoji od 10 aminokiselina.[1]

Angiotenzin se proizvodi u jetri, a cirkuliše u krvnoj plazmi čovjeka. On je bitan faktor kod regulacije krvnog pritiska, jer je direktni činilac sistema renin-angiotenzin-aldosteron (RAAS).[2]
Kod čovjeka, angiotenzin se sastoji iz 485 aminokiselina. NJegov gen leži na dugom kraku hromozoma 1.
