ACE2 counters angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity by reducing the amount of angiotensin II and increasing Ang(1-7) making it a promising drug target in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. ACE2 is also the entry point into the cells of some coronaviruses.
ACE2 hukabiliana na shughuli zinazohusiana na kimeng&apos;enya kinachogeuza angiotensin (ACE) kwa kupunguza kiwango cha angiotensi-II na kuongeza Ang(1-7) kwa kuifanya iwe dawa nzuri ya kutibu magonjwa ya moyo. ACE2 hutumika pia kama sehemu ya kuingia kwenye seli ya baadhi ya virusi vya korona.
