Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. Without ACE, the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II is impaired or absent, thereby resulting in decreased blood pressure. Hence, the absence of ACE will lead to decreased blood pressure.
