Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a zinc carboxypeptidase involved in the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and inactivates the potent vasopressive peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) by removing the C-terminal phenylalanine residue to yield Ang1-7. This conversion inactivates the vasoconstrictive...
