| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Peptidyl-dipeptidase A.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| ACE. |
| Angiotensin I-converting enzyme. |
| Carboxycathepsin. |
| Dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase I. |
| Kininase II. |
| Peptidase P. |
| Peptidyl dipeptidase I. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 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 |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Zinc.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Cl(-)-dependent.
- A glycoprotein that is generally membrane-bound.
- Active at neutral pH.
- Only single dipeptides are released from angiotensin I and bradykinin
because of the lack of activity on bonds involving proline.
- Belongs to peptidase family M2.
