| Gene Name | ACE | ||||||||
| Uniprot ID | ACE_HUMAN | ||||||||
| KEGG Pathway | hsa:1636 | ||||||||
| Protein Family | Peptidase M2 family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II by release of the terminal His-Leu, this results in an increase of the vasoconstrictor activity of angiotensin. Also able to inactivate bradykinin, a potent vasodilator. Has also a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.

| Key Mechanism Factor 2 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Adrenergic receptor alpha-2 | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | G-protein coupled receptor 1 family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor is oxymetazoline > clonidine > epinephrine > norepinephrine > phenylephrine > dopamine > p-synephrine > p-tyramine > serotonin = p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > phentolamine = mianserine > chlorpromazine = spiperone = prazosin > propanolol > alprenolol = pindolol.
