Angiotensin-converting enzyme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Whereas ACE 1 converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II, which has 8 amino acids, ACE 2 converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin[1-9], which has 9 amino acids. Inhibition of ACE (by ACE inhibitors) results in decreased formation of Angiotensin II (a far more potent vasoconstrictor than Angiotensin I) and decreased inactivation of bradykinin. Whereas Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor, Angiotensin[1-9] has no effect on blood vessels but can be converted by ACE 1 to a shorter peptide, Angiotensin[1-7], which is a mild en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Angiotensin_converting_enzyme

Angiotensin-converting enzyme test The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin I by itself is inactive, but when converted by ACE to the active form, angiotensin II, it causes narrowing of the small blood vessels in tissues, resulting in an increase in blood pressure. Angiotensin II also stimulates the hormone aldosterone, which causes an increase in blood pressure. webess16.micromedex.com /content/DiseaseDex/000078.htm

Role of cortisol in the ontogenic control of pulmonary and renal angiotensin-converting enzyme in fetal sheep near term -- Forhead et al. 526 (2): 409 -- The Journal of Physiology Online This study examined the ontogeny of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) concentration in the lungs and kidneys of fetal, newborn and adult sheep, and investigated the effects of cortisol infusion on tissue and plasma ACE in the chronically catheterised ovine fetus. Principally, it catalyses the activation of angiotensin II (AII) from angiotensin I (AI) and the degradation of bradykinin, and, therefore, is an important component of both the renin-angiotensin (RAS) and kallikrein-kinin systems. Circulating ACE appears to originate from proteolytic cleavage of the membrane-bound enzyme from the tissues (Skidgel and Erdos, 1993), and, hence, its plasma concentration is likely to be determined by tissue ACE synthesis and/or enzyme release into the blood. jp.physoc.org /cgi/content/full/526/2/409

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (also called ACE inhibitors) are medicines that block the conversion of the chemical angiotensin I to a substance that increases salt and water retention in the body. They work by preventing a chemical in the blood, angiotensin I, from being converted into a substance that increases salt and water retention in the body.

USATODAY.com - Study shows how pill helps health of blood vessels Doctors had suspected that blood pressure reduction alone could not explain the whole benefit of the pills, called angiotensin converting enzyme, or ACE, inhibitors, because studies have shown they prevented heart attacks and deaths even in patients with normal blood pressure or those whose high blood pressure did not budge. Unsurprisingly, the experiment showed that the drug widened the blood vessels by increasing amounts of an enzyme that controls blood vessel flexibility. MUNICH, Germany (AP) — Scientists have unraveled one of the mysteries of precisely how a popular type of blood pressure pill protects against heart attacks, showing it not only lowers blood pressure but also directly improves the health of the artery walls. www.usatoday.com /news/health/2004-08-31-blood-pill_x.htm   (486 words)
