Interaction Information:

Comment The ACE2 receptor catalyzes the removal of one single amino acid from the octapeptide angiotensin II to generate angiotensin1-7. In addition, ACE2 receptor also converts angiotensin I into angiotensin1-9, which in turn is converted to angiotensin1-7 by ACE and neprilisin. The catalytic efficiency of ACE2 is 400 times higher on angiotensin II than on angiotensin I.
