Renin, Renin Inhibition and Antihypertensive Therapy
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1983Research over the last 25 years established the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system's important role in electrolyte and blood pressure homeostasis as well as in the pathophysiology of hypertension for which renin suppressive drugs, angiotensin antagonists and converting enzyme inhibitors provided selective pharmacological tools.

Renin activity, concentration, substrate and reactivity were determined in normal subjects as well as in hypertensive subjects with suppressed and normal plasma renin activity. Renin substrate measurements were similar in all groups. Renin reactivity, a measure of circulating modifiers of the renin reaction, was significantly increased in both ...

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1984
Biochemical features of renin have been studied. Determination of the amino acid sequence and catalytically essential groups in the active sites of mouse submandibular gland revealed the similarity of renin with acid proteases. Yet stringent substrate specificity, neutral pH optimum of its enzyme activity and the unique structure of the activation ...

The reviewer of this subject can approach his task in two ways; he can attempt to be exhaustive and include all the references to all the literature on the subject, or he can be selective and consider only that which has thrown new light in recent years. I propose to take the latter course.

Pharmaceutical Research, 1987
Since the early 1980s, an intensive effort has been focused on the development of orally effective and long-acting inhibitors of renin. During this time, in vitro potency has increased greatly, with several transition-state inhibitor designs yielding inhibitors with subnanomolar IC50 values.

Renin, Prorenin, and the (Pro)Renin Receptor
2009The discovery of a receptor for renin and for its inactive precursor prorenin, and the introduction of renin inhibitors in therapeutic, has renewed the interest for the physiology of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and has brought prorenin back in the spotlight.

Renin, (pro)renin and receptor: an update
Clinical Science, 2010PRR [(pro)renin receptor] was named after its biological characteristics, namely the binding of renin and of its inactive precursor prorenin, that triggers intracellular signalling involving ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) 1/2. However the gene encoding for PRR is named ATP6ap2 (ATPase 6 accessory protein 2) because PRR was initially found ...

The Renin Prosequence Enhances Constitutive Secretion of Renin and Optimizes Renin Activity
Current Neurovascular Research, 2011Renin is cleaved from its precursor prorenin into mature renin. We investigated the impact of the renin proregion on the generation and secretion of enzymatically active renin. We compared the effects of the following sequences of human prorenin with those of wild type prorenin[1-383]: prosequence [1-43], hinge sequence [1-62], Des[1-43]prorenin ...

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1982
Although the brain contains cathepsins at high concentrations which exhibit a non-specific renin-like activity at acidic pH, the presence of specific renin in the brain has been demonstrated by characterizing its specific properties. Renin was separated from cathepsin by affinity chromatography on casein-Sepharose.
