<P> Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II ( AII ) through removal of two C - terminal residues by the enzyme angiotensin - converting enzyme ( ACE ) , primarily through ACE within the lung ( but also present in endothelial cells , kidney epithelial cells , and the brain ) . Angiotensin II acts on the CNS to increase ADH production , and also acts on venous and arterial vessels ' smooth muscle to cause vasoconstriction . Angiotensin II also increases Aldosterone secretion , therefore , it acts as an endocrine , autocrine / paracrine , and intracrine hormone . </P>
