Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is encoded by the gene, mRNA-decapping enzyme subunit 1 (DCP1). It is a zinc metalloprotease, which belongs to the M2 family.
Application
Angiotensin converting enzyme from porcine kidney has been used in in vitro angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition assay.
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. ACE inhibits the vasodilator, bradykinin. ACE inhibitors are used to treat high blood pressure.
Removes C-terminal dipeptides from susceptible substrates, e.g., angiotensin I and bradykinin.
Unit Definition
One unit will produce 1.0 ·μmole of hippuric acid from Hippuryl-His-Leu per min in 50 mM HEPES and 300 mM NaCl at pH 8.3 at 37 °C.
