Editor's Notes
- #2 Does your next experiment involve ace? This video is for scientists who want to run Western blot, IHC, flow or other immunoassays against ace.
- #3 We will cover some basic facts, protein expression, and ace’s expected behavior in Western blot. All information in this video is based on public information and no proprietary experimental evidence was used.
- #4 Topic 1: Quick facts about ace. As the name suggests, angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ace, is an enzyme responsible for cleaving angiotensin 1 into angiotensin 2. Ace plays an important role in blood pressure control. The protein is 1,306 amino acids long and runs about 150 kilodaltons on a western blot.
- #5 Topic 2: Where is Ace? Ace is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the respiratory system, male and female tissues. You can find more information on protein atlas dot org to check out which cell lines express ACE and which ones don’t. This information will come in handy when designing positive and negative controls for western blot and immunohistochemistry.
- #6 Topic 3: Ace in Western blotting. Antibody specificity can make or break an experiment. After looking through Western blot images from publications and antibody companies, we can see that typically one band can be expected in an Ace western blot at about 150 kilodaltons. Check out the PMC link for more images, which is also provided in the description box.
- #7 Topic 4: Some interesting facts about Ace. Ace was originally known as hypertension-converting enzyme when it was first discovered by Leonard T Skeggs in 1956. Since then, research on Ace has led to the creation of Ace inhibitors for clinical use. Ace inhibitors have been used to help treat hypertension by decreasing blood pressure. In addition, ACE inhibitors have been used to help treat chronic kidney disease and heart failure.
