The drosophila angiotensin-converting enzyme homologue Ance is required for spermiogenesis.

Developmental biology - 15 Feb 2003

Hurst Debra, Rylett Caroline M, Isaac R Elwyn, Shirras Alan D

Abstract excerpt

The Angiotensin-converting enzyme (Ance) gene of Drosophila melanogaster is a homologue of mammalian angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), a peptidyl dipeptidase implicated in regulation of blood pressure and male fertility. In Drosophila, Ance protein is present in vesicular structures within spermatocytes and immature spermatids. It is also present within the lumen of the testis and the waste bag, and is...
