Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) plays a crucial role in the renin-angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. The absence of ACE would lead to decreased levels of angiotensin II, resulting in vasodilation and, consequently, decreased blood pressure.
