About Ace2

Summary

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; peptidase activity; and virus receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of cardiac muscle contraction and tryptophan transport. Located in brush border membrane and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Used to study COVID-19 and congestive heart failure. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including avian influenza; cerebral malaria; hypertension (multiple); respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease; and severe acute respiratory syndrome. Orthologous to human ACE2 (angiotensin converting Enzyme 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
