Background:
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), also known as Angiotensin-converting enzyme homolog and Metalloprotease MPROT15, plays a pivotal role in the renin-angiotensin hormone system, regulating blood volume and cardiovascular stability. It transforms angiotensin I and II into peptides with anti-hypertrophic and vasodilator properties, respectively, and processes other vasoactive peptides and biological peptides efficiently. Additionally, ACE2 acts as a receptor for human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies, especially in managing cardiovascular diseases and targeting viral infections like COVID-19.
