Development of a novel murine heart failure model overexpressing human renin and angiotensinogen
FEBS Open Bio, 2020 Renin is the rate‐limiting enzyme of the renin–angiotensin system cascade, which drives the pathophysiological progression of heart failure. Species differences in the amino acid sequence of the catalytic domain of renin limit evaluations of the potency ...
