• Beschreibung: Angiotensin I (Human) is a protein that is found in the blood and other tissues. It is a peptide hormone, which acts on the kidneys to increase blood pressure and on the heart to increase cardiac output. This protein has been detected in several biological samples such as plasma, serum, or urine. Angiotensin I (Human) can be used as an enzyme form of angiotensin 1-converting enzyme (ACE). ACE catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to its active form, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II has been shown to reduce the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukins. It also stimulates vascular smooth muscle cells and increases the production of nitric oxide by these cells, leading to vasodilation. The measurement of this enzyme form in a sample may help determine disease activity in patients with bowel disease or squamous cell cancer of the skin.
