Biochem/physiol Actions

Mca-YVADAPK(Dnp)-OH is a widely used fluorescent substrate for caspase-1 (ICE cleaves between D & A) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2 cleaves between P & K). Proteolytic cleavage separates 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetyl (Mca) from the fluorescence-quenching group 2,4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp), resulting in increased Mca fluorescence (Ex: 320-328 nm, Em: 405-420 nm).

The obesity epidemic is multi-generational and is particularly debilitating in the aging population, necessitating the use of pharmaceutical interventions. Recent evidence suggests that increasing the activity of the angiotensin converting enzyme-2 [ACE2]/angiotensin-(1-7)[Ang-(1-7)]/Mas receptor (MasR) axis in obese animal models leads

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is considered as an endogenous negative regulator of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), exerting multiple cardiovascular protective roles. Whether mechanical stretch modulates ACE2 expression remains unknown. The present study aimed at investigating whether ACE2 is involved in physiological

Human angiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase (ACE2) is a zinc metalloprotease whose closest homolog is angiotensin I-converting enzyme. To begin to elucidate the physiological role of ACE2, ACE2 was purified, and its catalytic activity was characterized. ACE2 proteolytic activity has a pH

Binding of Fas ligand or an agonistic anti-Fas antibody induces apoptosis in Fas-bearing cells. The interleukin-1Beta-converting enzyme (ICE) is a cysteine protease that is involved in apoptosis induced by various stimuli, including Fas-mediated apoptosis. Several ICE homologues have been identified

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a potent negative regulator capable of restraining overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system, which contributes to exuberant inflammation after bacterial infection. However, the mechanism through which ACE2 modulates this inflammatory response is not well understood. Accumulating
