Question

_________ is a group of a hormone of the adrenal cortex that maintains ion balance.

(a) Acetylcholine esterase

(b) Creatine kinase

(c) 5^I – nucleotidase

(d) Angiotensin converting enzyme

I got this question in a national level competition.

This is a very interesting question from Clinical Significance of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme and Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase in chapter Clinical Enzymology of Enzyme Technology

Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) Angiotensin converting enzyme

Best explanation: Angiotensin converting enzyme is a group of a hormone of the adrenal cortex that maintains ion balance. Acetylcholine esterase converts acetylcholine to choline and acetate. Creatine kinase converts creatine phosphate to creatine and ATP. 5^I – nucleotidase degrade purine nucleotides by a pathway in which they lose the phosphate group.
