| EC Number | 3.4.15.1 |
| CAS Registry Number | 9015-82-1 |
| Comments | A Cl?-dependent, zinc glycoprotein that is generally membrane-bound. A potent inhibitor is captopril. Important in elevation of blood pressure, through formation of angiotensin II (vasoconstrictor) and destruction of bradykinin (vasodilator). Two molecular forms exist in mammalian tissues, a widely-distributed somatic form of 150- to 180-kDa that contains two non-identical catalytic sites, and a testicular form of 90- to 100-kDa that contains only a single catalytic site. Type example of peptidase family?M2. |
| Cofactor | Zn2+ |
| History | |
| Reactions | Release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin ii, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin Ii. |
