The study of angiotensin converting enzyme isolation from crossbred rabbit lung and enzyme storage capacity in frozen conditions

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Angiotensin-converting enzyme from rabbit pulmonary particles.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme has been solubilized from rabbit pulmonary particles and purified to homogeneity. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be about 136,000 by glycerol gradient centrifugation, and a value of 140,000 was obtained for the reduced denatured protein by disc-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2-mercaptoethanol. The enzym...

Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Patients with Psoriasis

Background: Controversial data concerning the elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme in psoriasis are reported in the literature. In order to verify whether this abnormality exists in Iranian patients, we performed this study. Method: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was measured in 40 psoriatics. According to clinical forms of psoriasis, patients were further divided into th...

Purification and properties of angiotensin-converting enzyme from hog lung.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme was purified 1500-fold from a homogenate of hog lungs. The purification procedure included fractionation with ammonium sulfate, inactivation of contaminating enzymes at pH 4.7, batch treatment with CM-cellulose, and chromatography on columns of DEAE-cellulose, hydroxyapatite, and Sephadex G-200. The enzyme was assayed with hippurylglycylglycine and, after pH 4.7 wa...
