angiotensin converting enzyme
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS), a hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance. It converts the hormone angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, which can cause blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure. Blockades or inhibitors of this enzyme are commonly used to treat high blood pressure.
