Influence of neuraminidase treatment on the electrophoretic behaviour of angiotensin converting enzyme from human tissues.

چکیده
Angiotensin converting enzyme (dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, kininase II; EC 3.4.15.1), is a membrane bound glycoprotein, playing an important role in the renin-aldosterone system. The enzyme contains a carbohydrate moiety, consisting of fucose, mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid. Treatment with neuraminidase (EC 3.2.1.18) removes sialic acid from the molecule. The influence of this treatment on the electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme was studied in 29 human tissues and body fluids. Results obtained showed differences in the sialic acid content of the enzyme in the tissues examined.

Study of Serum and Tissues Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Rat with Gentamicin Induced Renal Toxicity
The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) converts the inactive angiotensin I molecule to the active angiotensin II. ACE is rich in epithelium, endothelium, and neuroepithelial cells and it found largely on the brush border of intestine and kidney proximal tubules. ACE also presents in the serum. Some pulmonary and renal toxic drugs change the serum and tissue ACE contents. In this research ACE...

The number of victims of the COVID-19 pandemic shows important geographical differences. In this study, a number of human genetic polymorphisms were compared to the number of Covid-19 patients and Covid-19 mortality. Data from 33 countries were analyzed. Among the polymorphisms tested, the human angiotensine converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism turned out to be a determinant factor in both prev...
