angiotensin-converting enzyme 2

A transmembrane glycoprotein with an extracellular catalytic domain. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 functions as a carboxypeptidase, cleaving a single C-terminal residue from a distinct range of substrates. Catalytic efficiency is 400-fold higher with angiotensin II (1-8) as a substrate than with angiotensin I (1-10). Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 also efficiently hydrolyses des-Arg9-bradykinin, but it does not hydrolyse bradykinin. In peptidase family M2.
