Applications: This cell line is useful for ACE2 binding assays, flow cytometry, or for screening ACE2 antibodies.
Background: Human Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), also known as ACEH, is an integral membrane protein found in the outer space of cells in the lungs, arteries, heart, kidney, and intestines. ACE2 serves as the entry point into cells for some coronaviruses, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Description: Recombinant clonal stable HEK293 cell line constitutively expressing full length human ACE2, Genbank #NM_021804.3). Surface expression of ACE2 was confirmed by flow cytometry.
Genbank: NM_021804.3
Host Cell Line: HEK293
Mycoplasma Testing: This cell line has been screened using the MycoAlert™ Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza, #LT07-118) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma contamination.
