The ACE2 protein gene has 40 kb and 18 exons. Its protein has 805 amino acids with a molecular weight of 120 kDa. Here, we have a view of the <scene name='10/1083732/Ace2_completa/2'>full ACE2 protein</scene>. It can be divided into 4 portions: Peptidase Domain (Residues 19–615), Collectrin-like Domain (Residues 616–740), Transmembrane Domain (Residues 741–761) and Intracellular C-terminal Tail (Residues 762–805), from '''{{Font color|blue|N-terminal}}''' to '''{{Font color|red|C-terminal}}'''. | The ACE2 protein gene has 40 kb and 18 exons.

In the animation, we can observe a concentration of the '''{{Font color|gray|hydrophobic residues}}''' towards the center of the molecule, while the '''{{Font color|purple|polar}}''' ones are towards the outside part of the molecule. |
