aspartyl aminopeptidase and several other aminopeptidases, i.e. angiotensinases, are involved in angiotensin II and cholecystokinin, CCK, metabolism, angiotensin II is the principal effector of the renin-angiotensin-system, RAS, which induces vasoconstriction and increases sodium and water retention thereby leading to increased blood pressure
