Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a membrane-associated metalloprotease encoded by the ACE2 gene and expressed on the surface of many epithelial and endothelial cell types. ACE2 Antibody for FACS enables detection of Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 at the cell surface using flow cytometry, allowing researchers to identify ACE2-positive cell populations and analyze expression levels at the single-cell level. ACE2, also referred to as ACE2 receptor or Angiotensin-converting enzyme homolog, functions within the renin-angiotensin signaling pathway by converting angiotensin II into angiotensin-(1-7), a peptide associated with vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory signaling pathways.
Because ACE2 is a type I transmembrane protein with an extracellular catalytic domain, it is well suited for detection by flow cytometry when antibodies recognize surface-accessible regions of the protein. Flow cytometry analysis using ACE2 Antibody for FACS allows rapid quantification of ACE2 expression across heterogeneous cell populations, making it possible to identify subsets of epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and other ACE2-expressing populations within mixed samples. This single-cell analysis capability provides advantages over bulk biochemical methods by enabling measurement of expression variability between individual cells.
ACE2 surface expression is of particular interest in studies of respiratory biology, epithelial barrier tissues, cardiovascular research, and viral host entry mechanisms. Flow cytometry is frequently used to evaluate ACE2 expression in cultured epithelial cell lines, primary airway epithelial cells, kidney epithelial cells, and intestinal epithelial cells. In these settings, ACE2 Antibody for FACS enables researchers to determine the proportion of ACE2-positive cells within a population and to measure relative expression intensity across different experimental conditions or treatment groups.
Flow cytometry analysis can also be combined with multi-parameter antibody panels to evaluate ACE2 expression alongside markers of epithelial identity, immune cell populations, or differentiation status. Such approaches allow researchers to define ACE2-positive subpopulations within complex samples including organoid cultures, dissociated tissue preparations, or co-culture systems. By integrating ACE2 detection with additional cell surface markers, investigators can examine how ACE2 expression correlates with cellular phenotype, activation state, or disease-associated changes.
A rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizing ACE2 is suitable for flow cytometry-based detection of ACE2-positive cells in research applications. When used in flow cytometry workflows, ACE2 Antibody for FACS allows sensitive identification of ACE2-expressing cells and supports studies examining ACE2 biology, receptor regulation, and cellular susceptibility in systems where ACE2 surface expression plays an important biological role.
Optimal dilution of the ACE2 Antibody for FACS should be determined by the researcher.
E.coli-derived human ACE2 recombinant protein (Position: Q18-F805) was used as the immunogen for the ACE2 antibody.
After reconstitution, the ACE2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
