Recombinant human ACE-2 protein

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA with SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD. The ED50 range <= 100ng/ml. Specific activity is > 250 pmol/min/ug, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolysis 1.0 pmole of Mca-YVADAPK(Dnp)-OH per minute at pH 7.5, at 25C.

ACE-2, also known as Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, is an enzyme attached to the cell membranes of cells in the lungs, arteries, heart, kidney, and intestines. This enzyme lowers blood pressure by catalysing the hydrolysis of angiotensin II into angiotensin. It counters the activity of the related angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) by reducing the amount of angiotensin-II and increasing Ang(1-7) making it a promising drug target for treating cardiovascular diseases. ACE-2 also serves as the entry point into cells for some coronaviruses, including HCoV-NL63, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. Recombinant human ACE-2, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in HEK293 cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
