Researchers from National Taiwan University have presented a multi-omics view of how mutations in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) affect infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and progression of coronaviruses disease 2019 (COVID-19).
ACE2 is the human receptor that COVID-19’s causative agent – SARS-COV-2 – uses to bind to host cells, and TMPRSS2 is the enzyme that activates the viral spike protein for memb…
