Purification and characterization of rat urinary renin. 1985

T Iwamoto, and M Takaoka, and M Ohyama, and S Morimoto

Rat urinary renin was purified by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation, pepstatin-aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B chromatography, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The resulting preparation was essentially homogeneous, as assessed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the preparation was estimated to be 39000 by SDS-gel electrophoresis and 40000 by gel filtration. The optimum pH determined with rat angiotensinogen was 7.0, and the Km was 3.6 microM. These properties agreed well with those of purified rat renal renin. The activity of urinary renin was specifically inhibited by anti-renin antibody. These results suggest that urinary renin may originate in the kidney.

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. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
