Brief description Very recent studies suggest Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 (ACE2) a newly discovered enzyme, normally undetectable in the liver is markedly increased in liver disease in both man and rats. We have recently identified human liver cell lines that endogenously express ACE2 giving us a unique opportunity to investigate the function of this enzyme. The aim of the present project is to provide further insights into the role of ACE2 in liver disease by determining the regulation, location and transport of ACE2 in cultured liver cells as well as in rat models of liver injury.
