The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) plays a central role in the regulation of blood pressure and electrolyte homoeostasis. An overactive renin-angiotensin system leads to hypertension. As a result, renin is an attractive target for the treatment of this disease - Recombinant mouse prorenin is produced in HEK cells and purified by chelated metal affinity chromatography. It contains an 8x-Histidine tag at the C terminus. The apparent Mr of recombinant enzyme on SDS-PAGE is 41.7 kDa. Prorenin, the precursor of renin, is a glycosylated aspartic protease that consists of 2 homologous lobes. Prorenin can be activated with trypsin. Its activity can be measured in a FRET-based enzymatic assay
