The Role of the (Pro)renin Receptor in Hypertensive Disease
18 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Tissue angiotensin generation depends on the uptake of circulating (kidney-derived) renin and/or its precursor prorenin (together denoted as (pro)renin). Since tissue renin levels are usually higher than expected based upon the amount of (renin-containing) blood in tissue, an active uptake mechanism has been proposed. The (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR), discovered in 2002, appeared a promising candidate, although...
