Angiotensin-converting enzymes including ACE and ACE2 are a central component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. Both ACE & ACE2 are single-pass type I membrane proteins that belong to the peptidase M2 family.  Unlike ACE, the extracellular region of ACE2 contains only 1 zinc-binding metallopeptidase domain (19-611aa) and a C-terminal domain (612-740aa) that is 48% identical to human collectrin.  Its cytoplasmic tail contains several motifs such as LIR, PDZ-binding, PTB and endocytic sorting signals allowing interactions with proteins that mediate endocytic trafficking and autophagy.  The secreted ACE2 catalyzes the cleavage of angiotensin I into angiotensin 1-9, and angiotensin II into the vasodilator angiotensin 1-7. ACE2 is expressed in various human organs and may play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal function, as well as fertility. In addition, ACE2 is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of the human coronavirus HCoV-NL63 and the human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the latter is the causative agent of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: ACE2; ACEH

 

NCBI Gene ID: 59272

 

Uniprot Entry: Q9BYF1

 

Construct Details: Full length human ACE2 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 2418 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
