Tissue-specific and interferon-inducible expression of non-functional ACE2 through endogenous retrovirus co-option

2020-07-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an entry receptor for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as well as a regulator of several physiological processes. ACE2 has recently been proposed to be interferon-inducible, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 may exploit this phenomenon to enhance viral spread and questioning the efficacy of interferon treatment in Coronavirus diseas...
