Definition
Angiolysin is a vasodilator hormone from renal medulla of kidneys .

The kidneys remove wastes from the blood and are the effectors for controlling the water potential of the blood. The removal of waste products generated by metabolic reactions inside body cells is called Excretion. Some of these products are toxic,...

angiolysin
Term: angiolysin
Literally meaning: ?that which breaks up vessels?
Origin: Anc Greek
??????/aggio (=vessel, receptacle) > ?????/aggos(=tube)
+ ?????/lysis (=loosing) > ???/leo (break up, solve) à dissolution or a riot
Coined/History
The term was coined by Bernhard Glodny and Guido F Pauli after angiolysinisolation from renal medulla and named it due to its extremely potent vasodilatory properties.
