Function
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1), or ACE, is a central component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), which controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. It converts the hormone angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Therefore, ACE indirectly increases blood pressure by causing blood vessels to constrict. ACE inhibitors are widely used as pharmaceutical drugs for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Other lesser known functions of ACE are degradation of bradykinin, substance P and amyloid beta-protein. ACE hydrolyzes peptides by the removal of a dipeptide from the C-terminus. Likewise it converts the inactive decapeptide angiotensin I to the octapeptide angiotensin II by removing the dipeptide His-Leu. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor in a substrate concentration-dependent manner. Angiotensin II binds to the type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1), which sets off a number of actions that result in vasoconstriction and therefore increased blood pressure. ACE is also part of the kinin-kallikrein system where it degrades bradykinin, a potent vasodilator, and other vasoactive peptides. Kininase II is the same as angiotensin-converting enzyme. Thus, the same enzyme (ACE) that generates a vasoconstrictor (ANG II) also disposes of vasodilators (bradykinin).

Sandwich ELISA analysis of Human ACE matched pair antibodies
Capture: HA724326, Human/Monkey ACE Rabbit mAb [PSH22-81] Detector: HA724327, Human/Monkey ACE Rabbit mAb [PSH22-82]
Elisa assay was performed by coating wells of a 96-well plate with 100 µl per well of capture antibody (HA724326) diluted in carbonate/bicarbonate buffer, at a concentration of 2 µg/mL overnight at 4℃. Wells of the plate were washed, blocked with 150 µl 0.05% tween-20 1% BSA blocking buffer, and incubated with serial diluted Recombinant Human ACE protein (HA211209) starting from 20,000 pg/ml to 0 pg/ml and detect antibody (HA724327, Biotin, 0.2 µg/ml) for 1 hour at 30℃ with shaking. Then the plate was washed and incubated with 100 µl per well of SA-HRP for 0.5 hour at 30℃ with shaking. Detection was performed using an Ultra TMB Substrate for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark. The reaction was stopped with sulfuric acid and absorbances were read on a spectrophotometer at 450 nm.
Interpolated concentrations of native ACE in Human serum.
Capture: HA724326, Human/Monkey ACE Rabbit mAb [PSH22-81] Detector: HA724327, Human/Monkey ACE Rabbit mAb [PSH22-82]
Interpolated concentration of native ACE was measured in duplicate at different sample concentrations and interpolated from the ACE standard curves. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values were plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean ACE concentration was determined to be 224,145 pg/ml in human serum.

Capture: HA724326, Human/Monkey ACE Rabbit mAb [PSH22-81] Detector: HA724327, Human/Monkey ACE Rabbit mAb [PSH22-82]
Interpolated concentration of native ACE was measured in duplicate at different sample concentrations and interpolated from the ACE standard curves. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values were plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean ACE concentration was determined to be 100,598 pg/ml in monkey serum.
