Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD), a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive chronic kidney disease, is caused by mutations in different genes, including REN, encoding renin. Renin is a secreted protease composed of three domains: the leader peptide that allows insertion in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a pro-segment regulating its activity, and the mature part of the...
