Molecules in pathogenesis: angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2020
The renin–angiotensin system is mainly associated with the regulation of blood pressure, but recently many other functions of this system have been described. ACE2, an 805-amino acid monocarboxypeptidase type I transmembrane glycoprotein, was discovered in 2000 and has sequence similarity to two other proteins, namely ACE and collectrin.

S Protein, ACE2 and Host Cell Proteases in SARS-CoV-2 Cell Entry and Infectivity; Is Soluble ACE2 a Two Blade Sword? A Narrative Review

Vaccines, 2023
Since the spread of the deadly virus SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019, researchers have restlessly sought to unravel how the virus enters the host cells. Some proteins on each side of the interaction between the virus and the host cells are involved as the major ...

Novel Peptide Inhibitors of Angiotensin-converting Enzyme 2 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a recently identified human homolog of ACE, is a novel metallocarboxypeptidase with specificity, tissue distribution, and function distinct from those of ACE. ACE2 may play a unique role in the renin-angiotensin system and mediate cardiovascular and renal function.

Balance between angiotensin converting enzyme and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 in patients with chronic heart failure

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2015
Aim: It has been reported that angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an endogenous counter-regulator of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. However, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)/ACE2 balance in the development of human heart failure is not well established.
