    Summary
    Enables endopeptidase activity and insulin-like growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including angiotensin maturation; response to cAMP; and response to cGMP. Located in extracellular space. Used to study hypertension. Biomarker of hypertension; metabolic dysfunction and alcohol associated liver disease; and primary biliary cholangitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in essential hypertension; familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy; hand, foot and mouth disease; hypertension; and portal hypertension. Orthologous to human REN (renin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
