ACE2 is a protein that researchers think could be the gateway for SARS-CoV-2 to enter the cells. Here's what we know about this protein and its role in the body.

ACE2 is present on the surface of many human cells, especially in the lungs, and plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and heart health. Unfortunately, SARS-CoV-2 hijacks this protein ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection is shown to be codependent on heparan sulfate and ACE2, suggesting new approaches, including repurposed heparin, to treating COVID-19 ...

EVs-ACE2 can competitively bind with the viruses via ACE2/ S-protein interaction, thus blocking the virus to enter the host cells. (B) Size distributions of EVs-ACE2 measured by NTA.

Apeiron Biologics is preparing to study an inhaled formulation of its ACE2 receptor decoy APN01. The clinical trial will test whether switching from intravenous to inhaled delivery can expand the ...
