Interaction Information:

Comment Using mass spectrometry the authors identified alamandine as a product of the catalytic hydrolysis of the octapeptide Ala1-AngII (angiotensin A) by human ACE2. They demonstrate that alamandine can be formed in the rat heart after Ang-(1‚Äď7) perfusion with the use of selected reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry. This indicates that the cardiac tissue contains all necessary components to promote the decarboxylation of the Ang-(1‚Äď7) N-terminal aspartate amino acid residue.
