ACE-T,angiotensin I converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) 1,angiotensin-converting enzyme,DCP1,dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase I,kininase II,peptidyl dipeptidase i.
Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II by release of the terminal His-Leu, this results in an increase of the vasoconstrictor activity of angiotensin. Also able to inactivate bradykinin, a potent vasodilator. Has also a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety (By similarity).
