  2. Angiotensin-converting enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin-converting_enzyme

    The angiotensin converting enzyme gene has more than 160 polymorphisms described as of 2018. [24] Studies have shown that different genotypes of angiotensin converting enzyme can lead to varying influence on athletic performance. [25] [26] However, these data should be interpreted with caution due to the relatively small size of the ...

  3. Angiotensin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin

    Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. It is part of the renin–angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex to promote sodium retention by the kidneys. An oligopeptide, angiotensin is a hormone and a ...

  4. Renin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renin

    Renin activates the renin–angiotensin system by using its endopeptidase activity to cleave the peptide bonds between leucine and valine residues in angiotensinogen, [11] produced by the liver, to yield angiotensin I, which is further converted into angiotensin II by ACE, the angiotensin–converting enzyme primarily within the capillaries of ...

  5. Renin–angiotensin system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renin–angiotensin_system

    Outside the liver, angiotensinogen is picked up from the circulation or expressed locally in some tissues; with renin they form angiotensin I, and locally expressed angiotensin-converting enzyme, chymase or other enzymes can transform it into angiotensin II. [13] [14] [15] This process can be intracellular or interstitial. [9]

  6. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Angiotensin-converting_enzyme_2

    Membrane bound angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (mACE2) is a zinc-containing metalloenzyme located on the surface of intestinal enterocytes, renal tubular cells and other cells. [6] [17] mACE2 protein contains an N-terminal peptidase M2 domain and a C-terminal collectrin renal amino acid transporter domain. [17]

  8. Discovery and development of angiotensin receptor blockers

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

    Blood pressure and fluid and electrolyte homeostasis is regulated by the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. [1] Renin, an enzyme released from the kidneys, converts the inactive plasma protein angiotensinogen into angiotensin I (Ang I). Then Ang I is converted to Ang II with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), see figure 2. Ang II in ...
