Description
Background:
Angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an exopeptidase that catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to the nonapeptide angiotensin[1-9].1 ,or the conversion of angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7.2 ACE 2 has direct effects on cardiac function2, and is expressed predominantly in vascular endothelial cells of the heart and the kidneys.3 ACE2 plays a regulatory role in lung pathophysiology, including pulmonary fibrosis and acute lung disease. Activation of ACE2 by a small molecule can be a therapeutically relevant approach for treating and controlling Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).4 ACE2 may also have clinical potential as a novel molecular target for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).5

Amino Acid Location
14 amino acids near the N-terminus of human ACE2.
Formulation
This peptide is formulated in PBS pH 7.2 (0.01 M Sodium Phosphate, 0.13 M NaCl) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin and 0.02% sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Store this peptide in working aliquots at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.
Country of Origin
USA
