Figure 1. Metabolism of angiotensin peptides and bradykinin by ACE and other vasopeptidases.

Figure 1

Also shown are the principal angiotensin (Ang) and bradykinin (BK) receptors and their downstream effects. The broken arrow from angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) to B2 BK receptor denotes evidence for crosstalk between the membrane-bound proteins. The conversion of Ang II to Ang1–7 can be mediated by ACE2; see text and Refs 3,37. Ap, aminopeptidase; NEP, neutral endopeptidase.
