ACE2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His-Fc)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

ACE2 protein is an important carboxypeptidase in the renin-angiotensin system, which can regulate blood volume and vascular resistance and maintain cardiovascular homeostasis. It converts angiotensin I to the antihypertrophic angiotensin 1-9 and angiotensin II to the vasodilatory angiotensin 1-7, thereby opposing vasoconstriction. ACE2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His-Fc) is the recombinant mouse-derived ACE2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc, C-His, C-8*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

ACE2 protein is an important carboxypeptidase in the renin-angiotensin system, which can regulate blood volume and vascular resistance and maintain cardiovascular homeostasis. It converts angiotensin I to the antihypertrophic angiotensin 1-9 and angiotensin II to the vasodilatory angiotensin 1-7, thereby opposing vasoconstriction. ACE2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His-Fc) is the recombinant mouse-derived ACE2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc, C-His, C-8*His labeled tag.

Background

ACE2, an essential counter-regulatory carboxypeptidase within the renin-angiotensin hormone system, serves as a critical regulator of blood volume and systemic vascular resistance, contributing to cardiovascular homeostasis. Its enzymatic activity includes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin 1-9, a peptide with anti-hypertrophic effects in cardiomyocytes, and angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7, known for its vasodilatory and anti-proliferative properties, thereby counteracting the vasoconstrictor actions of angiotensin II. ACE2 further plays a role in amino acid transport, acting as a binding partner for the amino acid transporter SLC6A19, regulating its cell surface trafficking and activity. Additionally, ACE2 contributes to the regulation of various vasoactive peptides, such as neurotensin, kinetensin, and des-Arg bradykinin, as well as other biological peptides like apelins, casomorphins, and dynorphin A. Its multifaceted functions position ACE2 as a pivotal player in cardiovascular and amino acid homeostasis.

Procedure
Biotin Labeling
1. Dissolution of Biotin reagent: Take Biotin out from -10 ~ -30℃, immediately dissolve 1 tube of Biotin in 180 μL of cold pure water. Gently pipette up and down to mix well, preparing 10 mM Biotin.
2. Calculate the volume of EZ-LinkTM Sulfo-NHS-LC-LC-Biotin, No-WeighTM Format to be added.
3. Incubate at room temperature (RT) in the dark for 45 min;
4. Quantification of labeled protein: Use BCA assay for protein concentration quantification. The concentration of the labeled Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S1 is 208 μg/mL.

ELISA Detection
1. Coating: Dilute Mouse ACE2 protein to 2 μg/mL with 1×PBS, add 100 μL/well, and incubate overnight at 2-8℃.
2. Plate washing: Wash the plate with washing buffer, 260 μL/well, wash once, and pat dry.
3. Blocking: Add 1×PBST containing 1% BSA (blocking buffer) at 150 μL per well, incubate at 25℃ with 450 rpm shaking for 4 h.
4. Dilute Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S1 to the following concentrations: 0, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 ng/mL.
5. Add receptor protein: 100 μL/well, incubate at 25℃ with 450 rpm shaking for 2 h.
6. Plate washing: Wash the plate with washing buffer, 260 μL/well, wash 5 times with 1 min soaking each time, then pat dry.
7. Add secondary antibody: Dilute the secondary antibody at a ratio of 1:2000, add 100 μL/well, incubate at 25℃ with 450 rpm shaking for 1 h.
8. Plate washing: Wash the plate with washing buffer, 260 μL/well, wash 3 times with 1 min soaking each time, then pat dry.
9. Add TMB chromogenic solution: 100 μL/well, incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 min.
10. Terminate reaction: Add 2 M H2SO4 at 100 μL/well.
11. Plate reading: Read the absorbance at 450 nm.
12. Use GraphPad Prism software to plot a curve with the OD value as the y-axis and the Biotinylated Mouse ACE2 Protein concentration as the x-axis, then calculate the ED50 value.
