Background Information
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a homolog of angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE1), was identified in 2000. ACE2 provides protection against several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, lung injury, and diabetes. Besides chronic diseases, ACE2 plays a crucial role in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (hereafter named COVID-19). ACE2 is the host receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. (PMID: 37608279)
