Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) [5] is an enzyme that can be found either attached to the membrane of cells (mACE2) in the intestines, kidney, testis, gallbladder, and heart or in a soluble form (sACE2).

2020年5月14日 · The ACE2 receptor allows the virus that causes COVID-19 to infect and destroy our cells. What is the normal role of ACE2 in the body, and could it be the key to blocking infection?

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and its homologue, ACE2, are commonly allied with hypertension, renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system pathway, and other cardiovascular system disorders.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), discovered as a homologue of ACE, acts as its physiological counterbalance providing homeostatic regulation of circulating angiotensin II (Ang II) levels. ACE2 is a zinc metalloenzyme and carboxypeptidase ...

2020年5月16日 · ACE2 acts as the receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and allows it to infect the cell. ACE2 is a protein on the surface of many cell types. It is an enzyme that generates small proteins – by cutting up the larger protein angiotensinogen – that …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is not only an enzyme but also a functional receptor on cell surfaces through which SARS-CoV-2 enters the host cells and is highly expressed in the heart, kidneys, and lungs and shed into the plasma. ACE2 is a key regulator of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS).

2025年3月27日 · High expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE-2), transmembrane protease serine (TMPRSS), and P-selectin in platelets lead to thrombosis formation in COVID-19 patients. Pathological changes in oral epithelium and the expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry receptors, ACE2 and furin.

2020年3月26日 · Role of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and proposed mechanism for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS–CoV-2)–induced downregulation of cell surface ACE2 expression.

2020年6月4日 · The angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) has been identified as the receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 viral entry. As such, it is now receiving renewed attention as a potential target for anti-viral therapeutics.

2025年3月30日 · ACE2 is a single-pass, transmembrane protease enzyme that has high homology with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). It is the host cell receptor for several coronaviruses but also plays a role in the renin-angiotensin system where it inactivates angiotensin II by converting it to angiotensin 1-7.
