General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | ACE2 functions as a carboxypeptidase that can cleave several endogenous substrates, including angiotensin II, thus regulating blood pressure and vascular tone | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | SARS-CoV-2 utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as the receptor required for viral entry | Homo sapiens |
