Function and Biology

Crystal structure of ANCE in complex with Angiotensin-II

Source organisms:
Biochemical function: peptidyl-dipeptidase activity
Biological process: proteolysis
Cellular component: membrane

EC 3.4.15.1: Peptidyl-dipeptidase A

Reaction catalysed:
Release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II.
