ACE2 Expression in the Human Brain
ACE2 expression was quantified in 21 regions of the human brain using multiple tissue expression (MTE) arrays (*p < 0.01 (ANOVA); error bars represent one standard deviation of the mean). The highest expression was found in the pons, amygdala, and the medulla oblongata. The pons and medulla oblongata are notably known to control breathing and respiration.
