ACE

This gene encodes an enzyme involved in catalyzing the conversion of angiotensin I into a physiologically active peptide angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor and aldosterone-stimulating peptide that controls blood pressure and fluid-electrolyte balance. This enzyme plays a key role in the renin-angiotensin system. Many studies have associated the presence or absence of a 287 bp Alu repeat element in this gene with the levels of circulating enzyme or cardiovascular pathophysiologies. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified, and two most abundant spliced variants encode the somatic form and the testicular form, respectively, that are equally active.
Protein class

Candidate cardiovascular disease genes, CD markers, Disease related genes, Enzymes, FDA approved drug targets, Human disease related genes, Metabolic proteins, Plasma proteins

Predicted location

Intracellular, Membrane, Secreted (different isoforms)

Single cell type specificity

Group enriched (Late spermatids, Proximal enterocytes, Early spermatids)

Immune cell specificity

Immune cell enhanced (memory B-cell)

Cell line specificity

Group enriched (ASC TERT1, HUVEC TERT2)

Interaction

Monomer and homodimer; homodimerizes following binding to an inhibitor (PubMed:16476786). Interacts with calmodulin (CALM1, CALM2 or CALM3); interaction takes place in the cytoplasmic region and regulates phosphorylation and proteolytic cleavage (By similarity).

Molecular function

Carboxypeptidase, Hydrolase, Metalloprotease, Protease
