Background
ACEH,ACEII,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 calculated molecular weight of ACE2 is 92 kDa but it migrates to 120 kDa due to N-glycosylation . Sometimes,several cleaved fragments can also be detected as 75 kDa,50 kDa or 37 kDa. It has 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. This antibody is specific to ACE2. The location of ACE2 is membrane and cytoplasm,however it accumulates in the nucleus during the mitosis.
