0-31 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 |
T30 |
32-132 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Classically, the RAS involves the conversion of angiotensinogen by renin into angiotensin I (Ang I). |
T31 |
133-203 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Ang I is metabolized to Ang II via the dipeptide carboxypeptidase ACE. |
T32 |
204-304 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The pro-inflammatory effects of Ang II (7, 8, 9) are mediated through Ang II type I (AT1) receptors. |
T33 |
305-439 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Recently, the ACE2 receptor and its signaling pathway were identified as an important counter regulatory mechanism to the classic RAS. |
T34 |
440-615 |
Sentence |
denotes |
ACE2 is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein (15) expressed predominantly in the bronchus, lung parenchyma, heart, endothelium, kidneys, duodenum, and small intestine (16). |
T35 |
616-744 |
Sentence |
denotes |
ACE2 is a monocarboxypeptidase, unlike its homolog, ACE, which is a dipeptidase; ACE2 is not antagonized by ACE inhibitors (17). |
T36 |
745-866 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although ACE contains 2 active catalytic domains, ACE2 has a single catalytic domain with 42% identical residues (18,19). |
T37 |
867-997 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The major substrate of ACE2 is Ang II, which upon C-terminus cleavage, produces angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7) and L-phenylalanine (20). |
T38 |
998-1118 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Other substrates for ACE2 include Ang I, apelin-13, and dynorphin-13, which are catalyzed at much lower affinities (21). |
T39 |
1119-1307 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The non-catalytic C-terminal domain of ACE2 shares a 48% sequence homology with collectrin, a protein involved in neutral amino acid reabsorption from the intestine and the kidney (22,23). |
T40 |
1308-1537 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In the presence of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17), also known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α−converting enzyme (TACE), ACE2 exhibits ectodomain shedding (24), which results in the formation of a soluble enzyme. |
T41 |
1538-1642 |
Sentence |
denotes |
ACE2 also contains a calmodulin domain on its cytoplasmic tail that influences ectodomain shedding (25). |
