Pearls have high medicinal value. In the present study, we discovered the first bioactive peptide in pearls. The bioactive peptide, KKCHFWPFPW, was a novel angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory peptide derived from the pearl matrix of Pinctada fucata. It was screened and identified using quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of the peptide was 1417.5 Da, and its theoretical isoelectric point was 9.31. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration of the peptide was 4.17M, as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that this peptide competitively inhibited ACE activity. As the peptide concentration increased, the ACE inhibition rate also increased. The molecular docking was simulated using Maestro 2022-1 Glide software to understand the potential mechanisms underlying the ACE-inhibitory activity of KKCHFWPFPW. These results indicated that the peptide from the P. martensii pearl matrix might be a potential source of antihypertensive peptides.
