Acer, a homologue of the human angiotensin-1 converting enzyme, modulates the response of sleep, glycogen storage, lifespan, fecundity and stress resistance to diet in Drosophila melanogaster
Human angiotensin-1–converting-enzyme (ACE) plays a primary role in the regulation of blood pressure and electrolytes as part of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) in humans. Renin cleaves angiotensinogen to angiotensin I and ACE regulates the vasoconstriction of blood vessels by converting …

Nutraceutical and functional food bioactive peptides in beef
… work was to isolate, characterise and evaluate Angiotensin-І-converting enzyme (ACE-І) inhibitory, antimicrobial and antioxidant peptides from the bovine myofibrillar proteins actin and myosin. In order to generate these peptides, the myofibrillar proteins actin and myosin were hydrolysed with …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme cleavage of the Alzheimer's beta-amyloid peptide
Angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE) is a zinc metallopeptidase that consists of two homologous catalytic domains (N and C) with different substrate specificities. ACE is a central component of the intrinsic brain renin angiotensin-aldosterone system (BRAAS), well renowned as the regulator of …

The tetrapeptide Ac-SDKP and angiotensin converting enzyme in tuberculous pericarditis and fibrosis
… prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) and is cleaved by angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE). Importantly, a role of ACE and Ac-SDKP in the regulation of inflammation and fibrosis in multiple tissues and organs has been increasingly described in the literature. This has prompted interest in both the …
