The upregulation of ACE activity can be a novel therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer’s disease 3.4.15.1 amyloid beta-protein 1-42 + H2O ACE cleaves amyloid beta-protein 1-42 at multiple sites 3.4.15.1 angiotensin I + H2O - 3.4.15.1 angiotensin I + H2O enzyme plays a major role in blood pressure regulation 3.4.15.1 angiotensin I + H2O the enzyme plays an important role in blood pressure homeostasis 3.4.15.1 angiotensin I + H2O angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor that raises blood pressure and is formed from angiotensin I by the angiotensin I converting enzyme in the reninangiotensin system 3.4.15.1 angiotensin I + H2O i.e. DRVYIHPFHL 3.4.15.1 Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 + H2O i.e. substance P, lung and brain ACE cleave substance P via two pathways. In one pathway ACE first releases Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 and then dipeptides sequentially from the carboxyl terminus. The other first produces Leu-Met-NH2 and then releases dipeptides to leave substance P(1-5) 3.4.15.1 bradykinin + H2O - 3.4.15.1 bradykinin + H2O degradation 3.4.15.1 bradykinin + H2O inactivation 3.4.15.1 bradykinin + H2O bradykinin is a nonapeptide released from high molecular weight kininogen, it exerts its vasodilatory effect mainly by stimulation of B2 receptors 3.4.15.1 additional information - 3.4.15.1 additional information potential role of follicular enzyme in early stages of follicular maturation and atresia 3.4.15.1 additional information the enzyme enhances presentation of certain endogenously synthesized peptides to major histocompatibility complex class-I-restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocytes 3.4.15.1 additional information primary enzyme that is involved in the degradation of Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-Arg-Gly-Leu in brain 3.4.15.1 additional information may contribute to elevated blood pressure in hypertensive disease via conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II or inactivation of bradykinin 3.4.15.1 additional information the enzyme may play a role not only in the angiotensin-bradykinin system but also in the metabolism of circulating enkephalins and other bioactive peptides 3.4.15.1 additional information plays a role in blood pressure regulation 3.4.15.1 additional information angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 is a regulatory protein of the renin-angiotensin system.
