    Glossary Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2

    regulates blood pressure and is a SARS-CoV-2 entry point

    Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a protein found on the surface of many cell types, including those in the lungs, heart, and kidneys. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure by converting angiotensin II, a molecule that can increase blood pressure, into angiotensin 1-7, which has the opposite effect. ACE2 is also known for being the entry point for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, making it a significant focus of medical research.
