Immunoreactive renin was demonstrated in pituitary tissues of postmortem human subjects with different diseases. The specific immunoreactive renin activity comprised the majority of the tissue renin-like activity (mean, 83%), indicating the absence of nonspecific actions of proteases such as cathepsin D. We used three pituitary specimens with high levels of the specific renin activity for further biochemical characterization of the enzyme. Small differences were found in the molecular mass (45 K, 42 K and 37 K), binding to concanavalin A-Sepharose, and isoelectric points (pI) (4.72, 4.78, 4.86, 5.06, 5.28 and 5.44). These results seem to be interpreted as evidence for the presence of specific renin in the human pituitary with microheterogeneity.
