Background: The secretion of renin from granules stored in renal juxtaglomerular cells plays a key role in blood pressure homeostasis. The synthesis and release of renin and the extent of granulation is regulated by several mechanisms including signaling from the macula densa, neuronal input, and blood pressure. Clark AF et al study indicate that expression of the Ren-1(d) gene is a prerequisite for the formation of storage granules, even though the related protein renin-2 is present in these mice, suggesting that renin-1(d) and renin-2 are secreted by distinct pathways in vivo. The synthesis of renin and other biologically active polypeptides in the granular convoluted tubule cells of the mouse submandibular gland (SMG) is regulated by androgen and thyroid hormones. The androgen and thyroid hormones influence levels of renin-1 in mouse SMG primarily by regulating the amount of renin-1 mRNA available for translation.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
REN: Renin is a highly specific endopeptidase, whose only known function is to generate angiotensin I from angiotensinogen in the plasma, initiating a cascade of reactions that produce an elevation of blood pressure and increased sodium retention by the kidney. Interacts with ATP6AP2. Interaction with ATP6AP2 results in a 5-fold increased efficiency in angiotensinogen processing. Belongs to the peptidase A1 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Mouse Ren1 ren1 (Catalog #AAA355778) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355778 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse Ren1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Renin-1, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
