This short peptide with the sequence Leu-Ile-Tyr (LIY) has been isolated from a tryptic hydrolysate of human plasma. The peptide is derived from human alpha-2-Macroglobulin and corresponds to alpha-2-Macroglobulin(518-520). It has been shown to act as an inhibitor of angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (CD143) (Nakagomi et al, 2000). See also: casokinins for peptides with similar activities. See also cryptides for bioactive fragments of parent proteins. If produced in vivo, the fragment might be considered a regulatory peptide factor.
