Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Activity Assay kit

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE, EC 3.4.15.1, also called ACE1) is a zinc-containingpeptidyldipeptide hydrolase with a calculated molecular mass of 120-150 kDa. ACE is widely detectedintheendothelial cell of organ tissues included lung, brain, kidney. ACE catalyzes the formation of angiotensinIto angiotensin II, which could cause vasoconstriction, promote synthesis and release of adrenocorticalhormone aldosterone. It is important to detect ACE activity for diagnosis and treatment of lung, liver,thyroid and other organ diseases. ACE could catalyze FAPGG to form FAP and glycylglycine. FAPGG has a characteristicabsorptionpeak at 340 nm, and ACE activity is calculated by measuring the rate of decrease in absorbanceat 340nm
