Intronic regulation of SARS-CoV-2 receptor (ACE2) expression mediated by immune signaling and oxidative stress pathways
15 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein is a key catalytic regulator of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), involved in fluid homeostasis and blood pressure modulation. ACE2 also serves as a cell-surface receptor for some coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 . Improved characterization of ACE2 regulation may help us understand the effects of pre-existing conditions on COVID-19 incidence, as...
