Abstract
WHEN angiotensin is introduced into the circulation, it quickly disappears as a result of degradation by serum angiotensinase, and uptake by the tissues and degradation by their respective angiotensinase activities. To elucidate whether serum angiotensinase activity results from one single enzyme or from non-specific amino-peptidases, its electrophoretic behaviour was compared with that of five other amino-peptidases.
