It is an enzyme that generates small proteins – by cutting up the larger protein angiotensinogen – that then go on to regulate functions in the cell.It is present in many cell types and tissues including the lungs, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver and gastrointestinal tract. It is present in epithelial cells, which line certain tissues and create protective barriers.ACE2 is a vital element in a biochemical pathway that is critical to regulating processes such as blood pressure, wound healing and inflammation, called the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) pathway and it helps modulate the many activities of a protein called angiotensin II (ANG II) that increases blood pressure and inflammation, increasing damage to blood vessel linings and various types of tissue injury.ACE2 converts ANG II to other molecules that counteract the effects of ANG II.Of greatest relevance to COVID-19, ANG II can increase inflammation and the death of cells in the alveoli which are critical for bringing oxygen into the body; these harmful effects of ANG II are reduced by ACE2.When the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to ACE2, it prevents ACE2 from performing its normal function to regulate ANG II signaling. Thus, ACE2 action is “inhibited,” removing the brakes from ANG II signaling and making more ANG II available to injure tissues.This “decreased braking” likely contributes to injury, especially to the lungs and heart, in COVID-19 patients.“We assessed antibody responses 3 months’ post-vaccination in those who received mRNA-1273 (n=225), Sputnik V (n=128) or the first dose of Gam-COVID-Vac (n=184) and compared the results with previously reported data of Sinopharm and AZD1222 vaccines” the research team said.Of that 99.5 percent of Moderna, 94 percent of Oxford AstraZeneca (AZD1222) or Sputnik V, 72 percent to 76 percent of (Sputnik light) Gam-COVID-Vac (first dose) and 38.1 percent to 68.3 percent of Sinopharm vaccines had ACE2 blocking antibodies above the positive threshold”Also read; AstraZeneca second shot at 12-weeks gives same antibody levels as 4-weeks: Sri Lanka studyThe study showed that all Moderna recipients had antibodies above the positive threshold to the Alpha variant (B.1.1.7), Beta variant (B.1.351.1) and 80percent positivity rate for Delta variant (B.1.617.2).Positivity rates of Sputnik V vaccines for Wild Types and variants, were higher than AstraZeneca vaccine, while Sinopharm vaccine had the lowest positivity rates (CHANKA JAYASINGHE<a href="https://economynext.com/sinoharm-anti-body-response-declines-fastest-sri-lanka-study-finds-88935/" target="_blank">Original Source</a></blockquote>
