Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme

Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE; angiotensin-converting enzyme; often just called for short: Angiotensin-converting enzyme) is an enzyme (zinc metalloprotease) in tissues by which it promotes the conversion of angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II. Angiotensin-II itself promotes the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone, causing an increase in blood pressure. The two forms of ACE can be distinguished: Somatic … Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme
