APOL1 Modulates Renin–Angiotensin System [PDF]
BiomoleculesPatients carrying APOL1 risk alleles (G1 and G2) have a higher risk of developing Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS); we hypothesized that escalated levels of miR193a contribute to kidney injury by activating renin–angiotensin system (RAS) in the ...

Alternative Renin-Angiotensin System. [PDF]
HypertensionThe renin-angiotensin system is the most important peptide hormone system in the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis. Its classical arm consists of the enzymes, renin, and angiotensin-converting enzyme, generating angiotensin II from angiotensinogen, which activates its AT 1 receptor, thereby increasing blood ...

Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]
Archives of Andrology, 1988 Renin, a protease that cleaves the prohormone angiotensinogen thereby releasing angiotensin I, plays a major role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Although renin is synthesized mainly in the cortical cells of the kidney, the presence of renin or reninlike activity has been recognized in various extrarenal tissues of humans and ...

The intracrine renin–angiotensin system [PDF]
Clinical Science, 2012 The RAS (renin–angiotensin system) is one of the earliest and most extensively studied hormonal systems. The RAS is an atypical hormonal system in several ways. The major bioactive peptide of the system, AngII (angiotensin II), is neither synthesized in nor targets one specific organ.

Intrarenal renin–angiotensin system [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2009 Phylogenetically the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an ancient regulatory system which has attracted the attention of researchers for about a century. As a result of their efforts, different types of RAS inhibitors are now widely used as therapeutic medicines. The scientific enthusiasm toward RAS remains undiminished and new findings and discoveries
