Product details:
Abcam's ACE (CD143) Mouse ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an
in vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay designed for the quantitative measurement of mouse ACE (CD143) in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for mouse ACE coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and ACE present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-mouse ACE antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody,
HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of ACE bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1 also known as ACE1 or ACE is an important enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system. This enzyme exhibits a significant role in blood pressure regulation. ACE1 is a zinc-metallopeptidase with a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa. It converts angiotensin I into the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II a critical function in cardiovascular physiology. ACE1 is widely expressed in endothelial cells particularly in the lungs kidneys and the small intestine.
Biological function summary
The enzyme generates angiotensin II by cleaving angiotensin I. Angiotensin II an important effector peptide impacts cardiovascular and renal systems influencing vasoconstriction and fluid balance. While not directly forming a complex ACE1's activity increases the potency of angiotensin II which binds to angiotensin II receptors to exert its effects therefore indirectly forming a functional signaling complex.
Pathways
ACE1 plays a central role in the renin-angiotensin system and the kallikrein-kinin system. The enzyme's activity boosts angiotensin II production which connects it to the regulation of blood pressure via the renin-angiotensin pathway. ACE1 also indirectly interacts with proteins like bradykinin by degrading them modulating kinin-related functions and influencing inflammation and tension in vascular smooth muscle.
Understanding ACE1 is important for addressing hypertension and congestive heart failure. ACE1's conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II means overactivity can cause elevated blood pressure leading to hypertension. This makes ACE inhibitors such as lisinopril and ramipril therapeutic for these conditions. Furthermore its connection with aldosterone production places ACE1 in relevance to heart failure as excessive aldosterone can cause detrimental remodeling of cardiac tissue.
