| 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. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Removes C-terminal dipeptides from susceptible substrates, e.g., angiotensin I and bradykinin. |
| General description: | ACE is a monomer with molecular weight of ~170 kDa pH range for activity: 7-8.5 Temperature optimum: 37 °C Zinc is required for activity Inhibitors: captopril, enalaprilat, lisinopril etc. (1-10 μM) |
| General description: | 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. |
| Other Notes: | 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. |
| Physical form: | Lyophilized powder containing Tris buffer salts. |
