Journal ArticleDOI

ACE and ACE2 Activity in Diabetic Mice

TL;DR: In renal cortex from diabetic mice, ACE2 expression is increased at the posttranscriptional level, and this should be helpful in the evaluation of kidney-specific alterations in the balance of these two carboxypeptidases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice with Cardiac-Restricted Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Have Atrial Enlargement, Cardiac Arrhythmia, and Sudden Death

TL;DR: Increased local production of angiotensin II in the heart is not sufficient to induce ventricular hypertrophy or fibrosis, and it leads to atrial morphological changes, cardiac arrhythmia, and sudden death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Steady-state β-Amyloid Levels in the Brain by Neprilysin and Endothelin-converting Enzyme but Not Angiotensin-converting Enzyme

TL;DR: The results of these studies do not support a physiological role for ACE in the degradation of β-amyloid in the brain but confirm roles for endothelin-converting enzyme and neprilysin and indicate that reductions in these enzymes result in additive increases in brain amyloid β-peptide levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme C-Terminal Catalytic Domain Is the Main Site of Angiotensin I Cleavage In Vivo

TL;DR: It is shown that the C-domain of ACE is the predominant site of angiotensin I cleavage in vivo, and although mice lacking C- domain activity have normal physiology under laboratory conditions, they respond less well to the stress of dehydration.
