ACE-related carboxypeptidase,angiotensin I converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) 2,angiotensin-converting enzyme 2,anigotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase,renal angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.
Carboxypeptidase which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin 1-9, a peptide of unknown function, and angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7, a vasodilator. Also able to hydrolyze apelin-13 and dynorphin-13 with high efficiency. May be an important regulator of heart function.
