Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity Assay Kit

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a Cl- and Zn2+-dependent carboxypeptidase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of angiotensin I to produce angiotensin II with vasoconstriction effect or hydrolysis of bradykinin with vasoconstriction function to produce Phe-Arg dipeptide. ACE is an important part of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). RAS is an endocrine system that plays an important role in electrolyte homeostasis, body fluid regulation and cardiovascular control.
