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
