ACE2

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme family of dipeptidyl carboxydipeptidases and has considerable homology to human angiotensin 1 converting enzyme. This secreted protein catalyzes the cleavage of angiotensin I into angiotensin 1-9, and angiotensin II into the vasodilator angiotensin 1-7. The organ- and cell-specific expression of this gene suggests that it may play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal function, as well as fertility. In addition, the encoded protein is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of the human coronaviruses SARS and HCoV-NL63.

Interaction

Homodimer (PubMed:32132184). Interacts with the catalytically active form of TMPRSS2 (PubMed:21068237). Interacts with SLC6A19; this interaction is essential for expression and function of SLC6A19 in intestine (By similarity). Interacts with ITGA5:ITGB1 (PubMed:15276642, PubMed:33102950). Probably interacts (via endocytic sorting signal motif) with AP2M1; the interaction is inhibited by phosphorylation of Tyr-781 (PubMed:33436498). Interacts (via PDZ-binding motif) with SLC9A3R1 (via PDZ domains); the interaction may enhance ACE2 membrane residence (PubMed:34189428). (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS coronavirus/SARS-CoV spike protein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human coronavirus NL63 spike protein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human coronavirus NL63/HCoV-NL63 spike glycoprotein. [Processed angiotensin-converting enzyme 2]: (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; the interaction is increased by AVP/Arg-vasopressin with which they may form a complex.
