  2. ACEH
  3. Angiotensin-converting enzyme homolog
  4. Metalloprotease MPROT15
  5. Processed angiotensin-converting enzyme 2
Gene Name ACE2
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in metallopeptidase activity
Specific Function Carboxypeptidase which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin 1-9, a peptide of unknown function, and angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7, a vasodilator. Also able to hydrolyze apelin-13 and dynorphin-13 with high efficiency. May be an important regulator of heart function. In case of human coronaviruses SARS and HCoV-NL63 infections, serve as functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of both coronaviruses.
Pathways
  • Protein digestion and absorption
  • Renin-angiotensin system
Reactions
