Description
ACE2 cDNA encodes a deduced 805-amino acid protein containing a potential 17-amino acid N-terminal signal peptide and a putative 22-amino acid C-terminal membrane anchor. It also possesses a zinc metalloprotease consensus sequence and a conserved glutamine residue that may function as a third zinc ligand. ACE2 is expressed predominantly in vascular endothelial cells of the heart and kidney. ACE converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, ACE2 converts angiotensin I to angiotensin 1-9, which has 9 amino acids. Angiotensin II is a potent blood vessel constrictor, while angiotensin 1-9 does not impact blood vessels but is cleaved by ACE to a shorter peptide, angiotensin 1-7, which is a blood vessel dilator. Spike (S) proteins of coronaviruses, including the SARS coronavirus, bind with cellular receptors to mediate infection of target cells. ACE2 binds the S1 domain of the SARS coronavirus S protein. SARS coronavirus replicates efficiently on ACE2-transfected but not mock-transfected 293T cells. Anti-ACE2 but not anti-ACE1 antibody blocks viral replication on Vero E6 cells. It has been proposed that ACE2 is a functional receptor for SARS coronavirus.

Background
Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a transmembrane protein that serves as a key regulator of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) by catalyzing the conversion of angiotensin II (a potent vasoconstrictor) into angiotensin 1-7, which has vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic effects. ACE2 is highly expressed in the lungs, heart, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular and pulmonary homeostasis. Beyond its enzymatic function, ACE2 gained significant attention as the cellular entry receptor for the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses, where it facilitates viral binding and internalization via interactions with the viral spike (S) protein. Dysregulation of ACE2 expression has been implicated in conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, acute lung injury, and COVID-19-related complications. Therapeutic strategies targeting ACE2, such as recombinant soluble ACE2 and RAS modulators, are being explored to counteract these pathologies. ACE2's dual role in regulating vascular function and serving as a viral receptor highlights its significance in both physiology and disease.
