Scope note: Glicoproteína transmembrana con un dominio catalítico extracelular que actúa como carboxipeptidasa. Escinde un único residuo carboxiterminal a partir de muy diversos sustratos. La eficiencia catalítica es 400 veces mayor con la ANGIOTENSINA II como sustrato que con la ANGIOTENSINA I. La enzima convertidora de la angiotensina 2 también es un receptor funcional para la GLICOPROTEÍNA DE LAS ESPÍCULAS DE CORONAVIRUS de los CORONAVIRUS SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV2 y HCoV-NL63.

Scope note: A transmembrane glycoprotein with an extracellular catalytic domain which functions as a carboxypeptidase. It cleaves a single C-terminal residue from a distinct range of substrates. The catalytic efficiency is 400-fold higher with ANGIOTENSIN II as a substrate than with ANGIOTENSIN I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is also is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein (SPIKE PROTEIN, CORONAVIRUS) of the CORONAVIRUSES SARS-COV, SARS-COV2, and HCOV-NL63.
