Angiotensin (Ang) III, a biologically active peptide of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is predominantly known for its central effects on blood pressure. Our understanding of the RAS has evolved from the simplified, classical RAS, a hormonal system regulating blood pressure to a complex system affecting numerous biological processes. Ang II, the main RAS peptide has been widely studied, and its deleterious effects when overexpressed is well-documented. However, other components of the RAS such as Ang III are not well studied. This review examines the molecular and biological actions of Ang III and provides insight into Ang III’s potential role in metabolic diseases.
