Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP12597
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Renin
Synonyms
  1. Angiotensinogenase
Gene Name REN
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function 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.
