ACE Antibody (2Q2297) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody engineered to detect angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), also known as CD143 or Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1. Anti-ACE antibody (2Q2297) is raised against the C-terminal domain of human kidney-derived ACE and effectively recognizes denatured ACE from mouse, rat, human, bovine, feline, and canine origins through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP). ACE monoclonal antibody (2Q2297) is available in a non-conjugated form, providing flexibility for various research protocols. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a crucial carboxy-terminal dipeptidyl exo-peptidase involved in the renin-angiotensin system, where ACE converts Angiotensin I into the potent vasopressor hormone Angiotensin II, thereby regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance. ACE also plays a vital role in inactivating bradykinin, a vasodepressor peptide, which is essential for maintaining fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Structurally, ACE interacts with several proteins, including renin, which initiates the conversion of angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I, and the Angiotensin II receptors (AT1 and AT2), which mediate the physiological effects of Angiotensin II. Additionally, ACE interacts with integrins and the sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3), influencing cellular signaling and ion transport processes. There are two primary isoforms of ACE: pulmonary ACE (ACEP), a glycoprotein expressed in vascular endothelial cells of the lung, liver, adrenal cortex, pancreas, kidney, and spleen, and testicular ACE (ACET), which is exclusively expressed in adult testis by developing sperm cells, specifically late pachytene spermatocytes. Understanding the interactions of ACE with these proteins is essential for researching cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and related disorders, making ACE (2Q2297) antibody an indispensable tool for biomedical research.
