text: Renin is an enzyme released by your kidneys that helps control blood pressure.
text: Renin is an enzyme produced primarily by the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney and its release is the rate-limiting step in the regulation of the RAS (19, 20); it is controlled by four factors: (1) the macula densa comprises chemoreceptors for monitoring the sodium and chloride loads present in the distal tubule, (2) juxtaglomerular cells acting as pressure transducers that sense stretch of the afferent arteriolar wall and thus renal perfusion pressure, (3) the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which increases the release of renin, particularly in response to upright posture, in addition to (4) inhibiting factors, including K+, Ca++, angiotensin II, and atrial natriuretic peptides (19).
text: Renin, an enzyme released by juxtaglomerular cells of the renal afferent arteriole, starts a cascade in which angiotensinogen is cleaved first into angiotensin I, which is further metabolized to angiotensin II (Ang II) by ACE.
text: Renin is an enzyme that converts angiotensinogen (a large plasma protein produced by the liver) into Angiotensin I and eventually into Angiotensin II which stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone.
text: The AA cells produce renin, an enzyme that cleaves a prohormone, angiotensin 1, to its active form, so called angiotensin 2 (A2).
text: Renin (etymology and pronunciation), also known as an angiotensinogenase, is an aspartic protease protein and enzyme secreted by the kidneys that participates in the body's renin–angiotensin
