Application
Angiotensin converting enzyme from porcine kidney has been used in in vitro angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition assay.[3]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which regulates the fluid-electrolyte balance and systemic blood pressure.[1] ACE inhibits the vasodilator, bradykinin.[2] ACE inhibitors are used to treat high blood pressure.[4]
Removes C-terminal dipeptides from susceptible substrates, e.g., angiotensin I and bradykinin.
Unit Definition
