Rat Angiotensin converting enzyme, ACE ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 31.25 ng/ml - 2000 ng/ml Sensitivity: 7.81 ng/ml Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: CompetitiveAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: 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. This GPIase activity seems to be crucial for the egg- binding ability of the sperm. [The UniProt Consortium]
