Endothelin-converting enzyme 1
Endothelin-converting enzyme 1 (EC 3.4.24.71, endothelin-converting enzyme, ECE-1) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Hydrolysis of the -Trp21-Val- bond in big endothelin to form endothelin 1
This metalloendopeptidase belongs to the peptidase family M13.
