A simple spectrophotometric method for estimation of plasma angiotensin I converting enzyme activity. 1978

N Filipović, and M Mijanović, and R Igić

The procedure described is rapid, fairly simple, and inexpensive. The method may easily be used even in a small clinical laboratory. This method, based on a specific reaction which gives a product, hippuric acid azlactone, which absorbs in the visible region, avoids the interference of reagents and solvents encountered in the UV spectrophotometric assay, in which hippuric acid is determined directly.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007703 Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A A peptidyl-dipeptidase that catalyzes the release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II. It is also able to inactivate BRADYKININ, a potent vasodilator; and has a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.
