Soluble Form of the (Pro)Renin Receptor Generated by Intracellular Cleavage by Furin Is Secreted in Plasma [PDF]
The (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] is a 35-kDa transmembrane protein that plays a pivotal role in angiotensin tissue generation and in nonproteolytic prorenin activation. We detected a soluble form of (P)RR [s(P)RR; 28 kDa] in the conditioned medium of cultured cells.

Soluble (pro)renin receptor via β-catenin enhances urine concentration capability as a target of liver X receptor [PDF]
The extracellular domain of the (pro) renin receptor (PRR) is cleaved to produce a soluble (pro) renin receptor (sPRR) that is detected in biological fluid and elevated under certain pathological conditions.

Soluble pro renin receptor in elderly chronic heart failure patients
Overactivation of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is one of the main pathophysiological features in the evolution of chronic heart failure (CHF). The (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) represents an important player in a tissue renin-angiotensin system (tissue RAS), which mediates tissue injury through fibrosis and hypertrophy of the affected organs in CHF ...

Increased soluble (pro)renin receptor protein by autophagy inhibition in cultured cancer cells [PDF]
Abstract(Pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) regulates the renin–angiotensin system and functions as an essential accessory subunit of vacuolar H+‐ATPase. There is accumulating evidence that shows close relationship between (P)RR and autophagy. Soluble (P)RR consisting of the extracellular domain of (P)RR is generated from (P)RR by proteolytic enzymes.

Novel sandwich ELISA for detecting the human soluble pro renin receptor
The (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) plays a key role in the activation of the local renin-angiotensin system via interaction with renin and prorenin. A truncated form that is cleaved by furin, referred to as soluble (pro)renin receptor (s(P)RR), is secreted into the extracellular space. An accurate measurement of s(P)RR levels in vivo is an important issue

Soluble (Pro)renin Receptor Is Adversely Associated with Indices of Left Ventricular Structure and Function: The African-PREDICT Study. [PDF]
This study aims to compare soluble (pro)renin receptor [s(P)RR] levels between black and white adults and to explore the associations of left ventricular (LV) structure and function with s(P)RR in the total and ethnicity-stratified groups.

Prediction of response to medical therapy by serum soluble (pro)renin receptor levels in Graves' disease. [PDF]
Antithyroid drugs are generally selected as the first-line treatment for Graves' Disease (GD); however, the existence of patients showing resistance or severe side effects to these drugs is an important issue to be solved. The (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR]
