To examine whether expression of human renin in the transgenic mouse kidney is regulated in a cell-specific manner, we have characterized monoclonal antibodies against human renin and determined the renin-production site by immunohistochemistry. By using a monoclonal antibody specific for human renin, A6-11-6, we demonstrated that human renin in the transgenic mouse kidney is localized to the juxtaglomerular cells of afferent arterioles.

D007606 Juxtaglomerular Apparatus A complex of cells consisting of juxtaglomerular cells, extraglomerular mesangium lacis cells, the macula densa of the distal convoluted tubule, and granular epithelial peripolar cells. Juxtaglomerular cells are modified SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS found in the walls of afferent glomerular arterioles and sometimes the efferent arterioles. Extraglomerular mesangium lacis cells are located in the angle between the afferent and efferent glomerular arterioles. Granular epithelial peripolar cells are located at the angle of reflection of the parietal to visceral angle of the renal corpuscle. Apparatus, Juxtaglomerular

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.
