Angiotensinogen and C3 compete for renin-induced complement activation [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyRenin from plasma, kidney, and recombinant sources was previously demonstrated to cleave C3 to C3a and C3b. C3a was generated at a similar rate to that by C3 convertase, and C3 cleavage was inhibited by the renin inhibitor aliskiren.
