TMPRSS2 regulates ACE2 trafficking and shedding
2026-06-18
Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) functions as the receptor for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus utilizes the cellular endocytic machinery for entry by binding to defined residues on ACE2 with its spike protein (S protein), whose activation requires a priming process by another transmembrane protease, the transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2). In addition, ACE2 i...
