Background
Endothelin Converting Enzyme 1 (ECE1; EC: 3.4.24.71) is a membrane-bound metalloprotease that cleaves inactive big endothelin (big ET-1), which is the precursor of active endothelin. Studies have shown that big ET-1 could be used as a predictor of survival in patients suffering esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. ECE-1 is abundantly expressed in vivo in endothelial cells producing mature ET-1. As of today, Endothelin is the most potent vasoconstrictor known and it has cytokine- or hormone-like activities. Therefore, ECE-1 could play a significant role in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and Alzheimer’s Disease. BioVision’s Endothelin Converting Enzyme 1 Activity Assay Kit utilizes the ability of active ECE-1 to cleave a synthetic substrate (MCA-based peptide) releasing free fluorophore, in the presence or absence of the ECE-1 Inhibitor Mix. The released f.luorophore can be easily quantified using a fluorescence microplate reader. Our kit uses a unique combination of substrate and inhibitor that specifically detects ECE-1 in a variety of biological samples. Contribution of other enzymes with similar catalytic properties - i.e. Endothelin Converting Enzyme 2 (ECE-2), Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE1, ACE2), and Neprilysin is compensated for within the assay. Our assay kit is simple, specific and can detect as low as 0.5 µU of ECE-1 activity.

Additional description
Enzymes are cleaving the substrate. If the substrate is DNA they are called restriction enzymes. Activating enzymes will cut off the domain that is biological active to become functional.
