Renin-like activity (RLA) and angiotensin I-converting enzyme-like activity (ACELA), two key enzymes of the renin-angiotensin cascade (RAS), were sought in the dogfish rectal gland. RLA was 1.1 +/- 0.2 ng Ang I/mg protein/hr after incubation with porcine angiotensinogen and 0.8 +/- 0.1 ng Ang I/mg protein/hr after incubation with homologous plasma. ACELA was 7.22 +/- 1.08 and 8.87 +/- 1.9 nmol hippurate generated/min/mg protein respectively, at 0 and 37 degrees. The presence of these enzymes may indicate the presence of an endogenous RAS-like system in the rectal gland. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding sites were demonstrated autoradiographically in the subcapsular region of the gland, suggesting a possib...
