Fig. 3. — Tissue-specific distribution (m-RNA and protein) of SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry receptor (ACE2) and related proteases (TMPRSS2, FURIN and ADAM17) in reproductive system components in men. A high expression (m-RNA and/or proteomic) of ACE2 and significantly increased expression of the one or more proteases is observable in multiple cellular/tissue components indicating their high susceptibility for the SARS-CoV-2 infection.
