teprotide
Sign in to saveAlso known as pGlu-Trp-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gln-Ile-Pro-Pro
Teprotide is nonapeptide which has been isolated from the snake Bothrops jararaca. It is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) which inhibits the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and may potentiate some of the pharmacological actions of bradykinin. It has been investigated as an antihypertension agent.
