Angiotensinogen (AGT) is a glycoprotein found in plasma at a concentration of 2.8-7.1 mg per 100mL in healthy individuals. AGT is produced primarily by the liver but also is synthesized in the brain, large arteries, kidneys and adipose tissue. In plasma it exists as a monomeric form (55-65 kDa) as well as a high molecular mass form (200-550 kDa). In non-pregnant individuals with normal blood pressure, the high molecular mass form accounts for 3% of total circulating AGT. In the first half of pregnancy the total AGT increases by 4-fold and the high molecular mass form increases by 20-fold. Up to 80% of the total AGT in amniotic fluid is the high molecular mass form.

Angiotensinogen is an essential component of the renin-angiotensin system, a potent regulator of blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. It functions as the substrate for human renin and is the precursor molecule for Angiotensins 1,2,3,4, 1-9, 1-7, 1-5 and 1-4. AGT is also a member of the SERPIN family but it is not known to possess protease-inhibitory activity. Levels in plasma are increased by plasma corticosteroid, estrogen, thyroid hormone and angiotensin-2 levels.
