Infection and replication in undifferentiated proliferative cells were somewhat surprising, because mRNA expression of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is very low in these cells, while differentiated enterocytes express high levels of not only ACE2 but also the two mucosa-specific serine proteases TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS4 that facilitate SARS-CoV-2 spike protein fusogenic activity and promote virus entry into the host cell [58]. Here, ACE2 is linked to infection.
