sub:assertion dcterms:description "[In the last two decades ACE gene has been cloned that allowed the identification (i) of two isoenzymes, one called somatic ACE resulting from gene duplication and primarily expressed in endothelial cells, and the other, called germinative or testicular ACE, resulting from the transcription in the male reproductive system of a more simple gene, (ii) of an hydrophobic C-terminal peptide for membrane-anchoring and specifically cleaved by a metalloprotease to release soluble forms of both isoenzymes, and (iii) of several allelic polymorphisms, one of them consisting of an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in a short intronic Alu sequence that could account for half the variance in plasma ACE level and resulting in a large inter-individual variability; moreover this I/D polymorphism was proposed as a genetic marker for identifying individuals at high risk of ischemic heart disease and of anticipating in one individual the efficacy of the antihypertensive therapy, although conflicting data arose from the past decade literature.].
