Association between the polymorphisms of angiotensin converting enzyme (Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A) INDEL mutation (I/D) and Angiotensin II type I receptor (A1166C) and breast cancer among post menopausal Egyptian females [PDF]
Alexandria Journal of Medicine, 2014 Renin angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis. Angiotensin (Ang II) is converted from angiotensin I via angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Ang II exerts its effects by binding to two types of receptors; AT1R

Characterization of substrate specificity and novel autoprocessing mechanism of dipeptidase A from Prevotella intermedia [PDF]
, 2020 Prevotella intermedia, a gram-negative anaerobic rod, is frequently observed in subgingival polymicrobial biofilm from adults with chronic periodontitis. Peptidases in periodontopathic bacteria are considered to function as etiological reagents.

Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme and its Relatives [PDF]
, 2011 Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) is a monomeric, membrane-bound, zinc- and chloridedependent peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to the octapeptide angiotensin II, by removing a carboxy-terminal ...

A proteinaceous organic matrix regulates carbonate mineral production in the marine teleost intestine [PDF]
, 2016 Marine teleost fish produce CaCO(3) in their intestine as part of their osmoregulatory strategy. This precipitation is critical for rehydration and survival of the largest vertebrate group on earth, yet the molecular mechanisms that regulate this ...

Cathepsin B carboxydipeptidase specificity analysis using internally quenched fluorescent peptides [PDF]
, 2002 We have examined in detail the specificity of the subsites S-1, S-2, S-1' and S-2' for the carboxydipeptidase activity of cathepsin B by synthesizing and assaying four series of internally quenched fluorescent peptides based on the sequence Dnp-GFRFW-OH,

Shapes and Positions of Black Hole Shadows in Accretion Disks and Spin Parameters of Black Holes [PDF]
J.Korean Phys.Soc.45:S1808-S1812,2004;
Astrophys.J.611:996-1004,2004, 2004 Can we determine a spin parameter of a black hole by observation of a black hole shadow in an accretion disk? In order to answer this question, we make a qualitative analysis and a quantitative analysis of a shape and a position of a black hole shadow casted by a rotating black hole on an optically thick accretion disk and its dependence on an angular ...
