Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Activation Is Not a Common Feature of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptides

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2023
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the formation of angiotensin II (Ang II), a vasoconstrictor, whereas its homologue ACE2 degrades Ang II into angiotensin (1-7) (Ang (1-7)), a vasodilator. Given the similarities in structure and their interconnected roles in the regulation of cardiovascular system, this study aims to investigate if ACE ...

Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 and atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis, 2013
Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a homolog of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) which generates angiotensin II from angiotensin I. ACE, its product angiotensin II and the downstream angiotensin type I receptor are important components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Angiotensin II, the most important component of the RAS, promotes the

Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 and the kidney

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2016
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a monocarboxypeptidase that metabolizes angiotensin II (AngII). AngII levels can be modulated by ACE2 in tissues where the enzyme is highly expressed, such as the kidney. In the kidney, ACE2 has the potential to regulate the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which can impact blood pressure and renal ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2: a key enzyme in key organs

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
2020 marked the 20th anniversary of the discovery of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). This major event that changed the way we see the renin–angiotensin system today could have passed quietly. Instead, the discovery that ACE2 is a major player in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic has blown
