What is the target cell for the hormone Angiotensionogen? Solution Answer: zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland on kidney Reason: Primarily low blood pressure trigger the release of precursor, angiotensinogen peptide, a serpin family from the liver cells followed by formation of angiotensin I finally to angiotensin II in the presence of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). This angiotensin II active form is going to act on the \"zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland on kidney\" to trigger release of aldosterone to act on kidney cells finally to the reabsorption of sodium.
