    Glossary Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme

    regulates blood pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II

    Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure by converting angiotensin I, an inactive hormone, into angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor that narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. ACE inhibitors are commonly used medications to treat high blood pressure and heart failure by blocking this enzyme's activity, thereby relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure.
