Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Regulates Cell Proliferation and Migration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) plays a central role in the renin-angiotensin system, acting by converting the hormone angiotensin-I to the active peptide angiotensin-II (Ang-II).

The systemic renin-angiotensin system in COVID-19

Scientific Reports, 2022
SARS-CoV-2 gains cell entry via angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2, a membrane-bound enzyme of the “alternative” (alt) renin-angiotensin system (RAS). ACE2 counteracts angiotensin II by converting it to potentially protective angiotensin 1–7.
