{"product_id":"cst-90902s","title":"CST,  90902S, ACE2 Matched Antibody Pair","description":"Matched Antibody Pair for studying ACE2 in the research area.\n\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Usage Information\u003c\/b\u003e\nMatched Antibody Pairs consist of capture and detection antibodies that bind to non-overlapping epitopes. For specific identification of the capture and detection antibodies in this pair, please refer to the data figure caption. Optimal dilutions\/concentrations should be determined by the end user.\n\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e\nSupplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nStore at -20ºC. This product will freeze at -20ºC so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze\/thaw cycles . A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nACE2 is a carboxypeptidase that catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin 1-9, or of angiotensin II to the vasodilator angiotensin 1-7 (1). ACE2 is a critical component in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). ACE2 is predominantly expressed in vascular endothelial cells of the heart and kidney and Leydig and Sertoli cells of the testis (2,3). The unique expression pattern of ACE2 determines its essential role in the regulation of cardiovascular and kidney functions, as well as fertility. ACE2 protein is localized mainly in the extracellular space with its carboxy-terminal end attached to the membrane via its transmembrane domain. Active ACE2 enzyme is secreted by cleavage at the amino terminus. Research studies have shown that ACE2 expression is elevated in human failing heart (4). ACE2 has also been identified as the receptor for SARS and SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses (5-7).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nACE-related carboxypeptidase; ACE2; ACEH; angiotensin I converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) 2; angiotensin I converting enzyme 2; Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; Angiotensin-converting enzyme homolog; Angiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase; DKFZp434A014; Metalloprotease MPROT15; peptidyl-dipeptidase A; Processed angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; truncated angiotensin converting enzyme 2\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800325148841,"sku":"90902S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-90902s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
