The following angiotensin I converting enzyme ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of angiotensin I converting enzyme in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the ACE gene. 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. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. In addition, it is widely expressed across many tissue types. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Ischemic stroke. This protein may also be known as CD143, DCP, DCP1, angiotensin-converting enzyme, CD143 antigen, and ACE1.
There are angiotensin I converting enzyme ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 18.75 pg/mL and as high as 2000 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
