Alamandine, a member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a vasoactive peptide, is an endogenous ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor MrgD. Alamandine targets to protect the kidney and heart through anti-hypertensive actions[1][2].

ChEBI: Alamandine is a peptide.

Alamandine is an endogenous heptapeptide that can be formed from angiotensin A by angiotensin converting enzyme-2 or directly from angiotensin-(1–7) by decarboxylation of its aspartate residue. Alamandine′s activity is similar to Ang-(1–7) rather than that of angiotensin II or angiotensin A. However, Alamandine acts at a different receptor, the Mas-related receptor, MrgD. Alamandine causes vasodilation, and has antifibrosis and antihypertensive activity.
