Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Coronavirus Cellular Receptors The ACE2 receptor is a membrane protein that functions as an inhibitor of angiotensin II (Ang II). It also functions as a receptor for SARS-CoV, and it is internalized with the virus, resulting in a decrease in cell-surface ACE2 and an increase in serum Ang II.
Detailed explanation-2: -Additionally, ACE2 functions in other noncatalytic cellular roles including the regulation of intestinal neutral amino acid transport. It also serendipitously acts as the receptor for the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus.
