Reaction: ACE2 hydrolyzes Angiotensin-(1-8) to Angiotensin-(1-7)
- in pathway: Metabolism of Angiotensinogen to Angiotensins
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) hydrolyzes angiotensin-(1-8) (angiotensin II) to yield angiotensin-(1-7) (Vickers et al. 2002, Rice et al. 2004). The activity of ACE2 on angiotensin-(1-8) is 400-fold higher than on angiotensin-(1-10) (Vickers et al. 2002).
