'''Lisinopril''' (Commercially known as Prinivil) functions as a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). '''ACE''' cleaves specific residues of an inactive '''angiotensin 1''' near the C domain (domain closer to the C-terminus) to form a potent vasopressor octapeptide known as '''angiotensin 2'''; however the specific substrate binding and catalysis is not fully understood. ACE is found as a type 1 membrane bound dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase that regulates blood pressure and steady state equilibrium of ions within the blood | '''Lisinopril''' (Commercially known as Prinivil) functions as a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).

[[Image:LPR_mechanism.png|left| | [[Image:LPR_mechanism.png|thumb|left|310×228px|link=http://proteopedia.org/wiki/images/a/af/LPR_mechanism.png|Figure 1]]Bradykinin is a common vasodilator that, when bound to ACE, will allow ACE the cleave angiotensin I to angiotensin II, but when bound to lisinopril, bradykinin levels rise in the blood stream causing a decrease in blood pressure and increased vasodilation. As seen in Figure 1, bradykinin will bind to the ACE, which allows for the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II by the ACE/bradykinin complex. By blocking the active site of ACE, an inactive angiotensin 1 cannot be cleaved, which would block the cascade of events triggered by angiotensin 2 binding to type 1 AT2 receptor to create vasoconstriction. | ||
