The Discovery of the ACE2 Gene [PDF]
The discovery of the ACE2 gene broadened the scope of the regulatory mechanisms that govern the biological effects of the renin–angiotensin system in the cardiovascular system and beyond The late Daniel E. Koshland Jr. (1920–2007), a former editor of Science (1985–1995), characterized scientific discoveries into 3 categories of Charge, Challenge, and

The health of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems is inextricably linked to the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Physiologically speaking, a balance between the vasodeleterious (Angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE]/Angiotensin II [Ang II]/Ang II type 1 receptor [AT1R]) and vasoprotective (Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 [ACE2]/Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-

ACE and ACE2 in kidney disease
Renin angiotensin system (RAS) activation has a significant influence on renal disease progression. The classical angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-angiotensin II (Ang II)-Ang II type 1 (AT1) axis is considered to control the effects of RAS activation on renal disease.

ACE2, the kidney and the emergence of COVID-19 two decades after ACE2 discovery
Abstract Angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) is a homologue of angiotensin-converting enzyme discovered in 2000. From the initial discovery, it was recognized that the kidneys were organs very rich on ACE2. Subsequent studies demonstrated the precise localization of ACE2 within the kidney and the importance of this enzyme in the ...
