Angiotensin-converting enzyme

Schematic diagram of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (EC3.4.15.1), or "ACE" is a central component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS)), which controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. It converts the hormone angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Therefore, ACE indirectly increases blood pressure by causing blood vessels to constrict. ACE inhibitors are widely used as pharmaceutical drugs for treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
