Related Product Information for ACE1 assay kit
Background/Introduction: Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE1) is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of decapeptide angiotensin I to octapeptide angiotensin II, by removing a carboxy-terminal dipeptide. ACE is a key part of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) that regulates blood pressure. Increased ACE activity leads to an increase in the angiotensin II (Ang II) levels. This may increase the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson, Alzheimer, Huntington, Multiple Sclerosis etc. Elevated levels of Ang II mediate cardiac remodeling (cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis), which is a hallmark in heart failure. Previous researchers have shown that ACE activity is a better predictor of pathologies associated with Type 2 diabetes than ACE levels in serum samples. ACE1 Activity Assay Kit can be used to detect its activity in biological samples. This kit utilizes the ability of an active ACE1 to hydrolyze a synthetic substrate, which results in the decrease in optical density at 345 nm. The assay kit provides a rapid, simple and sensitive method to detect ACE1 activity as low as 40 mU in a variety of samples.

Product Notes
The General ACE1 (Catalog #AAA849577) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA849577 Assay Kit recognizes General ACE1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ACE1, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
