Article Abstract
ACE2 plays a critical role in SARS-CoV-2 infection to cause COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to ACE2 and probably functionally inhibits ACE2 to aggravate the underlying diseases of COVID-19.

Therefore, particular care to the patients with underlying diseases is needed during the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
