Beschreibung: Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) plays a central role in vascular, renal, andmyocardial physiology. In contrast to its homolog ACE, ACE2 expression is restricted toheart, kidney, and testis. Recently ACE2 has also been shown to be a functional receptor ofthe SARS coronavirus. The normal function of ACE2 is to convert the inactivevasoconstrictor angiotensin I (AngI) to Ang1-9 and the active form AngII to Ang1 7, unlikeACE, which converts AngI to AngII. While the role of these vasoactive peptides is not wellunderstood, lack of ACE2 expression in ace2-/ace2- mice leads to severely reduced cardiaccontractility, indicating its importance in regulating heart function. ACE1 inhibitors such ascatopril and lisinopril do not block ACE2 activity. The full length sequence for ACE2encodes an 805 amino acid protein with predicted mass of 92. 46 kDa and a pI of 5. 22.
