ACE 2 has direct effects on cardiac functiona, and is expressed predominantly in vascular endothelial cells of the heart and the kidneys.1r42: Native Human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-Related Carboxypeptidase (ACE2)1r4l: Inhibitor Bound Human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-Related Carboxypeptidase (ACE2)2ajf: Structure of SARS coronavirus spike receptor-binding domain complexed with its receptor Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) is an exopeptidase that catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to the nonapeptide angiotensin, or the conversion of angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7.
