Vectors for Human ACE2

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol ACE2
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name angiotensin converting enzyme 2
  • Other Aliases ACEH
  • Other Desigations angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; ACE-related carboxypeptidase; angiotensin I converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) 2; angiotensin I converting enzyme 2; angiotensin-converting enzyme homolog; angiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase; metalloprotease MPROT15; peptidyl-dipeptidase A
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme family of dipeptidyl carboxydipeptidases and has considerable homology to human angiotensin 1 converting enzyme. This secreted protein catalyzes the cleavage of angiotensin I into angiotensin 1-9, and angiotensin II into the vasodilator angiotensin 1-7. ACE2 is known to be expressed in various human organs, and its organ- and cell-specific expression suggests that it may play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal function, as well as fertility. In addition, the encoded protein is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of the human coronavirus HCoV-NL63 and the human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the latter is the causative agent of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Multiple splice variants have been found for this gene and the dACE2 (or MIRb-ACE2) splice variant has been found to be interferon inducible.
