Angiotensin-conveing enzymes are
Correct Answer: Zinc containing and cleaves C-terminal of AT-1
Description: The structure of the somatic form of angiotensin-conveing enzyme has sho cytoplasmic tail of the molecule and the two extracellular catalytic sites, each of which binds a zinc ion (Zn2+). Angiotensin-conveing enzyme (ACE) is a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase that splits off histidyl-leucine(at C-terminal of AT1) from the physiologically inactive angiotensin I, forming the octapeptide angiotensin II.
