Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an enzyme expressed on the membrane of many cell types, including epithelial cells of the pulmonary alveolus and small intestine enterocytes.[5] It is an exopeptidase that catalyses the conversion of angiotensin II to angiotensin 1–7, which acts as a vasodilator.[6][7] It also converts angiotensin I to the nonapeptide angiotensin[1–9].[8] ACE2 is a single-pass type I membrane protein.[9] It is also shed from cells and released into the blood stream and ultimately urine, by proteolytic cleavage.[10][11] The membrane-bound form of ACE2 serves as the entry point into human cells for some coronaviruses.

Coronavirus entry point

ACE2 has been shown to be the entry point into human cells for some coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, the virus that causes SARS.[12][13] A number of studies have identified that the entry point is the same for SARS-CoV-2,[14] the virus that causes COVID-19.[15][16][17][18]

This might lead some to believe that decreasing the levels of ACE2, in cells, might help in fighting the infection. On the other hand, ACE2 has been shown to have a protective effect against virus-induced lung injury by increasing the production of the vasodilator angiotensin 1–7.[19]Template:Secondary source required

In fact, the interaction of the spike protein of the virus with the ACE2 induces a drop in the levels of ACE2 in cells.[13]

Multiple regulatory bodies have recommended continuing ACE inhibitor therapy.[20][21]

These data may discourage the withdrawal of ACE inhibitors in some patients with tolerable adverse events (namely, cough) who are at particularly high risk of pneumonia. ACE inhibitors also lowered the risk of pneumonia related mortality, mainly in patients with established disease, but the robustness of the evidence was weaker.
