[Spectrophotometric assay of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (author's transl)]. 1979

The method of chemical assay of angiotensin I-converting enzyme described is a modification of the previously published spectrophotometric assay based on quantitation of hippuric acid released from hippuryl-L-histidyl-L-leucine. The new procedure involves extraction of hippuric acid with ethylacetate, evaporation to dryness of the extract, solubilization of the residue with 1 mol/l NaCl and purification with petroleum ether before measurements of the absorbance at 228 nm of the aqueous phase. Under these conditions, hippuric acid insoluble in petroleum ether remains in the aqueous phase, whereas other A228-absorbing materials, readily soluble in the ether and able to interfere with the assay, are eliminated.

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.
