ArticleAbstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2), the causative agent of COVID‐19, is a lipid‐layer enveloped RNA virus, capable of infecting receptor‐expressing epithelial cells. The angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) molecule has been identified as the attachment molecular for SARS‐CoV‐2 as well as for SARS‐CoV and the human coronavirus hCoV‐NL63.ACE2 is expressed to varying degrees by the cells of the upper and lower respiratory tract, stomach, intestine, kidney and the central nervous, circulatory and reproductive systems.The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2), the causative agent of COVID‐19, is a lipid‐layer enveloped RNA virus, capable of infecting receptor‐expressing epithelial cells.
