Primary Drug Target
| Name | Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) | | Gene Name | ACE | | Synonyms | Angiotensin-converting enzyme, testis-specific isoform precursor; EC 3.4.15.1; ACE-T; Dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase I; Kininase II | | 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 | | Reaction | Release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II |
