Background
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is one of the vasopressor principle. ACE converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, that has a vasopressor action, in the renin-angiotensin system and also inactivates bradykinin that is an antihypertensive peptide. Recently, modification of the conventional ACE inhibition assay procedure has been requested because of the use of harmful organic solvent such as ethyl acetate for the extraction of hippuric acid cleaved from Hippuryl-His-Leu by ACE and its complicated procedure.The ACE Inhibition Screening Kit is a simple and convenient kit to measure the ACE inhibitory activity. 3- Hydroxybutyryl-Gly-Gly-Gly (3HB-GGG) is utilized as a substrate for ACE, and the amount of cleaved 3-hydroxybutyric acid (3HB) from 3HB-GGG is measured by the enzymatic method. Neither organic solvent nor extraction procedure is required through the whole procedure. In addition, since the ACE Inhibition Screening Kit is optimized for 96- well microplate assay, a large number of samples can be tested at once.
