Background
Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme (ACE) is a transmembrane zinc metallopeptidase that hydrolyzes peptide chains by removing the dipeptide from the C-terminus. ACE is a key component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which plays an important role in blood pressure homeostasis through the production of the vasoconstrictor peptide angiotensin II. ACE also plays a role in fertility, immunity, hematopoiesis, and diseases such as obesity, fibrosis, and Alzheimer's disease dementia. ACE is relevant to immune regulation in that endogenous ACE has been detected in a variety of immune cell populations including macrophages and neutrophils, and its overexpression results in enhanced bactericidal and antitumor responses independent of angiotensin II.
