Gene Information

human ... ACE2(59272)

General description

Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), also referred as ACEH (human ACE homolog), is an integral membrane protein. It is encoded by the gene located at human chromosome Xp22.2. Ace 2 is found in variety of tissues, but the higher levels of protein is observed in vascular endothelium, lungs, heart, kidney, and testis. The protein contains a N-terminal single catalytic metallopeptidase unit, a C-terminal noncatalytic domain and a cytoplasmic tail.

Immunogen

Antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids near the C-terminus of human ACE2.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) as a carboxypeptidase cleaves angiotensin (Ang) I to Ang 1-9. In addition, it also degrades Ang II to Ang 1–7 and plays a vital role in regulation of blood pressure. Ace 2 aids in maintaining the balance of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS). It also helps in absorbing the neutral amino acids from the intestine and the kidney. It is a cellular receptor for spike glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which is known to cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Downregulated expression of Ace 2 has been observed in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) shares some homology with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) but is not inhibited by ACE inhibitors. The main role of ACE2 is the degradation of Ang II resulting in the formation of angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) which opposes

ACE2, the first known human homologue of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), was identified from 5' sequencing of a human heart failure ventricle cDNA library. ACE2 has an apparent signal peptide, a single metalloprotease active site, and a transmembrane domain. The metalloprotease

A novel human zinc metalloprotease that has considerable homology to human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (40% identity and 61% similarity) has been identified. This metalloprotease (angiotensin-converting enzyme homolog (ACEH)) contains a single HEXXH zinc-binding domain and conserves other critical residues typical

Cardiovascular diseases are predicted to be the most common cause of death worldwide by 2020. Here we show that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ace2) maps to a defined quantitative trait locus (QTL) on the X chromosome in three different rat models

Spike (S) proteins of coronaviruses, including the coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), associate with cellular receptors to mediate infection of their target cells. Here we identify a metallopeptidase, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), isolated from SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-permissive
