## Abstract Angiotensin‐converting 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

Bovine fetal aortic endothelial cells cultured in serum-containing medium accumulate angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity and also release it into t h e culture medium. Following subcultivation of a confluent culture using trypsin-EDTA, cellular ACE activity falls 50% within 8 h, but n o A
We have demonstrated previously that a variety of agents including corticosteroids, thyroid hormone, cationophores, methylxanthines, and analogues of CAMP-all of which have diversified functions in various tissues-devate cellular angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity of bovine endothelial cel
