The ACE-2 receptor is the functional host receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.10,11 Although ACE2 is highly expressed in alveolar cells in the lungs, ACE2 receptors are also abundant in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the small and large intestines.12,13 The gastrointestinal symptoms that appear early during COVID-19 suggest that the small bowel may be an important entry site for the virus.14 Zhang et al.15 postulated that ACE2 expression on small intestinal enterocytes may mediate the invasion of the virus and activation of gastrointestinal inflammation. Here, ACE2 is linked to COVID-19.
