General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function at pH values below 6, formation of angiotensin (1-7) in ACE2 knockout mice is similar to that in wild-type mice. The prolyl carboxypeptidase-prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor Z-prolyl-prolinal reduces angiotensin (1-7) formation in ACE2 knockout mice. ACE2 metabolizes angiotensin II in the kidney at neutral and basic pH, while prolyl carboxypeptidase catalyzes the same reaction at acidic pH Mus musculus
