The Biological Variation in Serum ACE and CPN/CPB2 Activity in Healthy Individuals as Measured by the Degradation of Dabsylated Bradykinin—Reference Data and the Importance of Pre-Analytical Standardization Open
Background: Bradykinin (BK) is an inflammatory mediator. The degradation of labeled synthetic BK in biofluids can be used to report on the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and basic carboxypeptidases N and CBP2, for which th…
