Description générale

The Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity Assay is based on the cleavage of a synthetic fluorogenic peptide. The measured fluorescence is directly proportional to the ACE activity present. The reaction is summarized as follows: ACE ACE Fluorogenic substrate ———————> Cleaved ACE Substrate + fluorescent product (λex 320nm/λem 405nm)

The ACE Positive Control in the kit can be used to screen for ACE inhibitors. This kit has a linear range of 1.5-110 mU of ACE activity.

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) is a key component in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which is well known for its role in the regulation of blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and vascular remodeling1,2 . ACE is located mainly in the capillaries of the lungs, but can also be found in endothelial and kidney epithelial cells3. This hormone system also regulates body fluids volume. Renin produces angiotensin I by cleaving several amino acids from angiotensinogen. ACE then hydrolyzes angiotensin I to yield active angiotensin II. Angiotensin II also stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone, which also causes an increase in blood pressure by stimulating sodium reabsorption by the kidney1. Since ACE exhibits critical functions regulating RAS, ACE inhibition has become a promising approach for drug targeting in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy.

The detection range : 1.5-110 mU of ACE activity.

Microbial natural products impress by their bioactivity, structural diversity, and ingenious biosynthesis. While screening the less exploited actinobacterial genus Planomonospora, two cyclopeptides were discovered, featuring an unusual Tyr-His biaryl bridging across a tripeptide scaffold, with the sequences N-acetyl-Tyr-Tyr-His and N-acetyl-Tyr-Phe-His.

The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)/Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) pathways are coexpressed in most tissues. The balance between these pathways determines, at least in part, whether tissue damage will occur in response to pathological stimuli. The

In this study, we characterized three novel peptides derived from the 19 kDa α-zein, and determined their bioactive profile in vitro and developed a structural model in silico. The peptides, 19ZP1, 19ZP2 and 19ZP3, formed α-helical structures and had positive

Radiation-induced lung injury is a major dose-limiting toxicity for thoracic radiation therapy patients. In experimental models, treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors mitigates radiation pneumonitis; however, the mechanism of action is not well understood. Here, we evaluate the direct
