Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Control, Normal & Elevated
Angiotensin II is a potent, bioactive vasoconstrictor. Because of its potency it is a target for hypertensive active drugs such as Captoril. Angiotensin II is produced by the action of a peptide hydrolase upon the substrate angiotensen I. Angiotensin I is relatively inactive while the product angiotensin II is a potent regulator of blood flow. This peptide hydrolase commonly called angiotensin converting enzyme II is a useful diagnostic tool. Its activity is responsible for the production of Angiotensin II. Clinical research has shown its activity to be high in sorcoidosis, RDS, TB, Gaucher’s disease and other lung disease. Serially measured, the accurate determination of ACE is a useful monitor of disease progress.
