## Abstract Angiotensinβconverting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1) is a carboxyterminal dipeptidyl peptidase. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to the octapeptide angiotensin II. In addition, the enzyme catabolizes bradykinin. Because of these actions, the enzyme is of pivot
Nitrogen dioxide (NO,), an environmental oxidant, is known to activate phospholipase A, and modulate the plasma membrane structure of porcine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. We evaluated the effects of exposure to NO,, purified phospholipase B (which acts as phospholipase A, and A,), or phosphol
