Atlas of ACE2 gene expression in mammals reveals novel insights in transmisson of SARS-Cov-2

2020-03-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> COVID-19 has become a worldwide pandemic. It is caused by a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 with elusive origin. SARS-CoV-2 infects mammalian cells by binding to ACE2, a transmembrane protein. Therefore, the conservation of ACE2 and its expression pattern across mammalian species, which are yet to be comprehensively investigated, may provide valuable insights into tracing potential hosts of...
