Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 7050
Name Angiotensin-converting enzyme
Synonyms
  1. ACE
  2. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, soluble form
  3. CD143 antigen
  4. Dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase I
  5. Kininase II
Gene Name ACE
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in metallopeptidase activity
Specific Function Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II by release of the terminal His-Leu, this results in an increase of the vasoconstrictor activity of angiotensin. Also able to inactivate bradykinin, a potent vasodilator. Has also a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety
