Category: Coronavirus/Assay Kit
Application: Useful for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecule inhibitors and antibodies for drug discovery and HTS applications.
Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an exopeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7 and L-phenylalanine. Angiotensin II is part of the classical renin angiotensin system (RAS), a hormone system that regulates fluid balance, blood pressure and maintains vascular tone. ACE2 has been also proved to be the receptor for the human respiratory coronavirus NL63, the SARS-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2.
Description: The ACE2 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed to measure the exopeptidase activity of ACE2 for screening and profiling applications.
