ACE2 Receptor
The receptor on human cells that SARS-CoV-2 binds to for entry. Downregulation of ACE2 by the virus can lead to acute lung injury and increased oxidative stress, which Vitamin D may help normalize.

Peter Attia MD
The receptor on human cells that SARS-CoV-2 binds to for entry, a key target for neutralizing antibodies.

#159-Peter Hotez MD, PhD.: The anti-vaccine movement, causes of autism, & COVID-19 vaccine update
Peter Attia MD
The human receptor that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to, with mutations in variants like B.1.1.7 increasing binding affinity.

#99 – Peter Hotez, M.D., Ph.D.: Continuing the conversation on COVID-19
Peter Attia MD
The receptor that the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses to enter human cells, discussed in relation to potential drug targets like ARBs and its role in virus entry and regulation.

#97 – Peter Hotez, M.D., Ph.D.: COVID-19: transmissibility, vaccines, risk reduction, and treatment
Peter Attia MD
The receptor that SARS-CoV-2 uses to gain access to cells, particularly in the lungs and intestinal tract. Its role and implications for pathology are discussed.

Lex Fridman
A human receptor protein that SARS-CoV-2, like SARS-CoV, attaches to on host cells to initiate infection, with stronger attachment than SARS-CoV.
