Angiotensin converting enzyme reagent
In the renin-angiotensin system, the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) catalyses the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II which is found in the lungs and in vascular endothelium and increases blood pressure by vasoconstriction and salt and water retention. It also degrades bradykinin, decreasing its vasodilator function. The measurement of ACE levels in serum is […]
