The Mouse Monoclonal anti-Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 1 antibody (Clone CG2) (ABIN379980) specifically detects Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 1 in IHC and IHC (p).
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
The antigen is CD143, the epitope is apparently localized in the N-terminal portion of the protein. Antigen distribution: Tissue sections: Topographically the degree of expression correlates with the proportion of smooth muscle cells and elastic fibres of the vessel wall. ACE is predominantely expressed by small muscular arteries and by arterioles, whereas small and large veins do not usually express ACE. However, no ACE could be detected in the endothelial cells of kidney. Constitutively ACE is expressed on endothelial cells in different diseases like hypertension, myocardial infarction, sarcoidosis, diabetes. Specificity: Human: denatured ACE. Other species: not tested.
