ACE ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein angiotensin I converting enzyme, which is encoded by the ACE gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase that removes dipeptides from the C-terminus of a variety of circulating hormones, such as angiotensin I, bradykinin or enkephalins, thereby playing a key role in the regulation of blood pressure, electrolyte homeostasis or synaptic plasticity. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1306 residues, a mass of 149.7 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase M2 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm and is widely expressed across many tissue types. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The ACE gene has been associated with the disease, Ischemic stroke. Other alias names for this target include CD143, DCP, DCP1, angiotensin-converting enzyme, CD143 antigen, and ACE1.
There are ACE ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.625 pg/mL and as high as 2000 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
