NCIt synonyms : Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme wt Allele; CD143; MGC26566; DCP; ACE1; DCP1; MVCD3; Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A 1 Transcript Gene; Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme (Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A) 1 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human ACE wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q23.3 and is approximately
45 kb in length. This allele, which encodes angiotensin-converting enzyme protein,
is involved in both hydrolysis and the regulation of vasoconstriction. Mutation of
the gene is associated with renal tubular dysgenesis and susceptibility to ischemic
stroke, microvascular complications of diabetes type 3 and diabetic end-stage renal
disease.;
