CHARACTERIZATION OF A DIPEPTIDE HYDROLASE (KININASE II: ANGIOTENSIN I CONVERTING ENZYME)
Abstract
A dipeptide hydrolase was purified 200-fold from hog plasma and concentrated from homogenates of lung and kidney. Guinea-pig plasma is a very rich native source of the enzyme, but the highest specific activity was found in a particulate fraction of the kidney. The enzyme has a dual function: it converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II, and it inactivates bradykinin by cleaving off the C-terminal dipeptides His-Leu or Phe-Arg, respectively. Thus, kininase II is also an angiotensin I converting enzyme. In addition, this enzyme released C-terminal dipeptides from five other shorter peptide substrates. Three of them were used as substrates in ultraviolet spectrophotometric experiments. The activity of dipeptide hydrolase was inhibited by ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, and several divalent metal ions restored its activity. It was also inhibited by the dipeptide split products of the reactions, by a pentapeptide, by insulin and by the B chain of insulin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
