Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a zinc metalloproteinase and a key regulator of the
renin–angiotensin system (RAS). ACE2 is a newly described enzyme identified in rodents …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been recognized for many years as critical
pathway for blood pressure control and kidney functions. Although most of the well-known …

The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is critically involved in cardiovascular and renal
function and in disease conditions, and has been shown to be a far more complex system …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the first human homologue of ACE to be
described. ACE2 is a type I integral membrane protein that functions as a carboxypeptidase …

ACE2, initially cloned from a human heart, is a recently described homologue of angiotensin-
converting enzyme (ACE) but contains only a single enzymatic site that catalyzes the …

Components of the renin–angiotensin system are well established targets for
pharmacological intervention in a variety of disorders. Many such therapies abrogate the …

The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is a critical regulator of hypertension, primarily through
the actions of the vasoactive peptide Ang II, which is generated by the action of angiotensin …

Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) shares some homology with angiotensin‐
converting enzyme (ACE) but is not inhibited by ACE inhibitors. The main role of ACE2 is the …

Abstract Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), discovered as a homologue of ACE, acts
as its physiological counterbalance providing homeostatic regulation of circulating …
