Rabbit anti Human ACE2 antibody recognizes human Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, also known as ACE2, ACE-related carboxypeptidase or Metalloprotease MPROT15. ACE2 is a 788 amino acid ~100 kDa carboxypeptidase expressed in a range of tissues including heart, kidney, testis and the gastrointestinal system.
ACE2 is a homologue of ACE (Angiotensin-converting enzyme 1), although it has a distinct catalytic activity. ACE2 catalyzes the cleavage of active angiotensin II into angiotensin 1-7, which may counteract the effects of ACE by increasing vasodilatation.
ACE2 serves as the cellular entry point for the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus, functioning as a receptor for the SARS Spike protein (Turner et al. 2004).

Antisera to human ACE2 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
Preservative Stabilisers
0.02% Sodium Azide
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence within the amino terminus of human ACE2.
Preparation and Storage
Store at +4°C or at -20°C if preferred. This product should be stored undiluted. Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.

Product Notes
The ACE2 ace2 (Catalog #AAA49973) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The RABBIT ANTI HUMAN ACE2 (N-TERMINAL) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ACE2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, WB (Western Blot), IHC (Immunohistochemistry). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ACE2 ace2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ACE2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
