    Snippet: The angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) serves as a functional receptor for the spike protein (S) of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (12, 13) . Under normal physiological conditions, ACE2 is a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin 1-9, a peptide of unknown function, and angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor that is important in the regulation of blood pressure (14) . ACE2 also converts angiotensin II.....
    Document: The angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) serves as a functional receptor for the spike protein (S) of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (12, 13) . Under normal physiological conditions, ACE2 is a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin 1-9, a peptide of unknown function, and angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor that is important in the regulation of blood pressure (14) . ACE2 also converts angiotensin II into angiotensin 1-7, a vasodilator that affects the cardiovascular system (14) and may regulate other components of the renin-angiotensin system (15) .
