, 2021 Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is well known for its dual actions to convert inactive Ang I to active Ang II, and degrades active bradykinin (BK), which plays an important role in controlling blood pressure. Because it is the bottleneck step for the production of pressor Ang II, it was targeted pharmacologically in the 1970s.

Signaling by the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2006 Inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) protects against the progression of several cardiovascular diseases. Because of its dual role in regulating angiotensin II and bradykinin levels, the positive clinical effects of ACE inhibitors were thought to be the consequence of concomitant reductions in the production of angiotensin II and the ...
