It is important to understand the role of ACE2 in COVID-19 infection. ACE2 is a carboxypeptidase that shares significant homologue with ACE. Studies have shown that the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 will bind to the receptor on the host cell to initiate the infection. Check out our blog post to learn more about the ACE2 Receptor. We also have a dedicated page for Covid-19 related products to help you accelerate your research to find a cure.
