Extra Details:: ACE2 is a member of the angiotensin-converting enzyme family of dipeptidyl carboxydipeptidases. It catalyzes the cleavage of the decapeptide angiotensin I into angiotensin-(1-9) and angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor) into the vasodilator angiotensin-(1-7). ACE2 is a type I membrane protein that functions as a carboxypeptidase. It cleaves between a proline and a single hydrophobic/basic residue from the COOH-terminus of its substrates. ACE2 is a zinc metalloprotease with considerable homology to angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE),both enzymes contain the typical HEXXH zinc-binding motif,ACE has two catalytic sites and ACE2 has only one,and ACE2 is not inhibited by ACE inhibitors captopril,lisinopril,and enalaprilat. Studies in mice showed that disruption of ACE2 induced a severe cardiac contractility defect and increased angiotensin II levels in heart. Human ACE2 has been identified as the receptor for SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)-coronavirus.
