## Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine whether angiotensin I‐converting enzyme (ACE) is present in cultured bovine bronchial epithelial cells (BBECs) and whether its activity can be modulated. We found that extracts of confluent monolayers of cultured BBECs degraded [glycine‐1‐^14^C
by the 5th day in MS cells/hepatocyte co-cultures. The fact that the results of our work show the suitability of MS cells, an epithelialderived cell line, for improving the expression of biotransformation enzymes of cultured hepatocytes opens new possibilities of simplifying co-cultures for their us
