Function
Carboxypeptidase which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin 1-9, a peptide of unknown function, and angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7, a vasodilator. Also able to hydrolyze apelin-13 and dynorphin-13 with high efficiency. May be an important regulator of heart function. In case of human coronaviruses SARS and HCoV-NL63 infections, serve as functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of both coronaviruses. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in endothelial cells from small and large arteries, and in arterial smooth muscle cells. Expressed in lung alveolar epithelial cells, enterocytes of the small intestine, Leydig cells and Sertoli cells (at protein level). Expressed in heart, kidney, testis, and gastrointestinal system. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase M2 family. -
Post-translational
modificationsN-glycosylation on Asn-90 may limit SARS infectivity. -
Cellular localization
Secreted and Cell membrane. - Information by UniProt

Predicted band size: 97 kDa
Observed band size: 120-135 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?False colour image of Western blot: Anti-ACE2 antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab15348 was shown to bind specifically to ACE2. A band was observed at 120-135 kDa in wild-type Caco-2 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in ACE2 knockout cell line ab277338 (knockout cell lysate ab275516). To generate this image, wild-type and ACE2 knockout Caco-2 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.
