An enzyme involved in regulating blood vessel tension by breaking down biochemical compounds that control vascular constriction and dilation.
From 'angion' (vessel) + 'tonos' (tension) + '-ase' (enzyme). This biochemical term emerged with modern enzyme characterization in the 20th century.
Angiotonase is part of your body's tone-control system for blood vessels—it helps relax blood vessels by destroying tension-creating molecules!
