- Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is a critical regulator of blood pressure homeostasis. The protease renin cleaves angiotensinogen into inactive decameric peptide angiotensin-I (Ang-I). Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) then cleaves Cterminal dipeptide from Ang-I to form an active octamer angiotensin-II (Ang-II), which can contribute to hypertension by promoting vascular smooth muscle vasoconstriction and renaltubule sodium reabsorption. ACE can also cleave many othersmall peptides including the vasodialating peptide bradykinin into inactive fragment, cleave Alzheimer amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta), retard Abeta aggregation, deposition and fibril formation. ACE mutant mice display spontaneous hypotension, partial male infertility and kidney malformations. ACE is found in somatic (s- ACE) and testicular/germinal (t-ACE) isoforms. The products ofrenin and ACE catalysis, namely Ang1-10 and Ang1-8 can also beby another peptidase, ACE-2 to Ang1-9 and Ang1-7, respectively.ACE-2 and ACE (s-ACE and t-ACE) are made as transmembrane(TM) proteins but these enzymes also exist as soluble, truncatedforms lacking the TM and cytosolic domains .ACE (also known as dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase-1, DCP1;Kininase-II, ACE1) gene has been mapped at human chromosome 17q23. The s-ACE and t-ACE isoforms are generated by alternative splicing of ACE-2 gene. Somatic-ACE, a Zn (II) containing dipeptidyl carboxy peptidase is a single chain glycoprotein with a molecular mass of ~140kD. The s-ACE enzymes from mouse (1312aa), rat (1313aa) and human (1306aa) contain two large areas of homologous sequence, each containing catalytic site and a Zn-binding region. These homologous regions are approximately half the size of whole s-ACE. The s-ACE is expressed in many somatic tissue tissues, including vascular endothelial cells, renal epithelial cells, and testicular Leydig cells. In contrast to s-ACE, the t-ACE enzymes (~80kD) from mouse (732aa), rat (775aa) and human (732aa) contain only one active site and are expressed only in sperms. The soluble ACE is present present in serum and seminal, amniotic and cerebrospinal fluids. The t-ACE is identical, from residue 37 to its C-terminus, to the second half or C-terminus of s-ACE. The t-ACE from mouse, rat and human are ~72% identical to each other in their aa seq. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Western Blot, though not tested, may potentially be used as an application. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1000-1:10,000 Western Blot: 2-5ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O or PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
