We have previously described a kinin-inactivating endopeptidase (H2), which was purified 19-fold from human urine by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and gel filtration. the enzyme was inhibited 100% by PMSF, TPCK and pOHMB. ...

Extensins (EXTs) are highly repetitive plant O-glycoproteins that require several post-translational modifications (PTMs) to become functional in plant cell walls. First, they are hydroxylated on contiguous proline residues; ...

To understand the role of peptidases in seminal physiology of Crotalus durissus terrificus, intra- and inter-seasonal activity levels of acid (APA), basic (APB), puromycin-sensitive (APN-PS) and puromycin-insensitive neutral ...

Ang-(1–7) [angiotensin-(1–7)] constitutes an important functional end-product of the RAS (renin–angiotensin system) endogenously formed from AngI (angiotensin I) or AngII (angiotensin II) through the catalytic activity of ...

Angiotensin (Ang) (1-7) constitutes an important functional end-product of the renin-angiotensin system endogenously formed from Ang I or Ang II through the catalytic activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2, ...

Peptide hydrolase system of Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1098, a lactic acid bacteria of sourdough origin, was investigated. This microorganism has a broad range of peptidases consisting of an active aminopeptidase, ...

The Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) plays a fundamental role in the regulation of blood pressure and electrolyte balance. The angiotensin peptide (ANG)-(1-7), bound to RAS, is predominantly generated in the vascular wall ...
