ACE-Related Carboxypeptidase ACE2 Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Protein 2 ACE2 Enzyme ACE2 Protein Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-Related Carboxypeptidase
Scope note in English
A transmembrane glycoprotein with an extracellular catalytic domain which functions as a carboxypeptidase. It cleaves a single C-terminal residue from a distinct range of substrates. The catalytic efficiency is 400-fold higher with ANGIOTENSIN II as a substrate than with ANGIOTENSIN I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is also is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein (SPIKE PROTEIN, CORONAVIRUS) of the CORONAVIRUSES SARS-COV, SARS-COV2, and HCOV-NL63.
