Y. Wako et al., ANGIOTENSIN I-CONVERTING ENZYME-INHIBITORS IN AUTOLYSATES OF SQUID LIVER AND MANTLE MUSCLE, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 60(8), 1996, pp. 1353-1355
Autolysis of squid liver and mantle muscle homogenates, and blends of
both, each yielded inhibitory activity toward the angiotensin I-conver
ting enzyme. The inhibitory activity and the amount of solubilized pro
tein in each of these autolysates were examined over a period of 24 h.
Inhibitory peptides were isolated from the mixed autolysate, their st
ructures (IC50) being Tyr-Ala-Leu-Pro-His-Ala (9.8 mu M) and Gly-Tyr-A
la-Leu-Pro-His-Ala (27.3 mu M).
