Abstract excerpt
Aminopeptidase N has been identified as the cellular receptor for human coronavirus HCoV-229E and was a putative receptor for the spike glycoprotein encoded by the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). We report here identification of 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ANPEP, encoding human aminopeptidase N, in Chinese. All ANPEP exons and their flanking intronic sequences were amplified from unrelated...
