Background Information

ACE2 (Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), also named as ACEH, is a zinc metalloprotease of the ACE family and a critical regulator of the reninangiotensin system. ACE2 has a more restricted tissue distribution than ACE, being found predominantly in the heart, kidneys, and testes although low levels have been detected in a variety of tissues. ACE2 has been shown to be a functional receptor of the human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. The expression level and expression pattern of human ACE2 in different tissues might be critical for the susceptibility, symptoms, and outcome of 2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2 infection. It can be used as a potential therapeutic target of SARS-CoV-2. The location of ACE2 is membrane and cytoplasm, however it accumulates in the nucleus during the mitosis.
