- A proteolytic enzyme secreted by the kidneys; catalyzes the formation of angiotensin and thus affects blood pressure
- Renin , also known as angiotensinogenase is an enzyme that participates in the body's renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that mediates extracellular volume (i.e., that of the blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid), and arterial vasoconstriction. ...
- An circulating enzyme released by mammalian kidneys that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin-I. Because its activity ultimately leads to formation of angiotensin-II and aldosterone, this hormone plays a role in maintaining blood pressure
- Renin is a hormone made by the kidneys. By a rather complex pathway, renin release leads to a rise in blood pressure in two ways: (1) it stimulates the production of 'angiotensin II' (or A II) which constricts (or squeezes) small arteries and (2) it stimulates the production of the hormone ' ...
- A hormone made by the kidneys that helps regulate the volume of fluid in the body and blood pressure.
