Abstract excerpt
Renin is mainly stored in the renin granules (RGs) of juxtaglomerular cells (JGCs). RGs are a type of lysosome-related organelle (LRO), and knowledge on the underlying mechanism of RG biogenesis is limited. Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is characterized by multiple LRO defects. Whether there are RG defects in HPS is unknown. Using different mouse models of HPS, we found that the active renin content was reduced...
