Abstract excerpt
Renin is a mammalian aspartic protease that is rate-limiting in the renin-angiotensin cascade. Preprorenin is the translational product of the human renin gene and is secreted as prorenin, an inactive zymogen, primarily from the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney. It has previously been shown that the 46-amino-acid pro domain is not necessary for the secretion of fully active or mature renin from mammalian...
