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 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, Dec 2024]

Morphology and cyclooxygenase-2 and renin expression in the kidney of young spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Title: Morphology and cyclooxygenase-2 and renin expression in the kidney of young spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Cardiac H9c2 cells overexpressing cyto-renin exhibited enhanced nonmitochondrial oxygen consumption, lactate accumulation, and lactate dehydrogenase activity, reflecting a switch to more aerobic glycolysis known as Warburg effect.
Title: An alternative renin isoform is cardioprotective by modulating mitochondrial metabolism.
Superoxide activates renal Sp3 via lysine acetylation increasing renin activity, AT1R function, and blood pressure in rats.
Title: Superoxide via Sp3 mechanism increases renal renin activity, renal AT1 receptor function, and blood pressure in rats.
Data show that the largest number of contacts was found on chromosome 13, the chromosome with renin gene ( Ren).
Title: Genome-wide map of proximity linkage to renin proximal promoter in rat.
Major components of the renin angiotensin system are located in striatal projection neurons, and striatal astrocytes and microglial cells of rats.
Title: Expression of angiotensinogen and receptors for angiotensin and prorenin in the rat and monkey striatal neurons and glial cells.
The influence of intracellular renin on the inward calcium current in isolated smooth muscle cells from SHR mesenteric arteries was investigated... intracellular renin in vascular resistance vessels from SHR due to internalization or expression, contributes to the regulation of vascular tone and control of peripheral resistance-an effect independently of Ang II.
Title: Intracellular renin increases the inward calcium current in smooth muscle cells of mesenteric artery of SHR. Implications for hypertension and vascular remodeling.
An alternative promoter in intron1 of the renin gene is regulated by glucose starvation via SRF.

Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury induces renin response in the kidney. Renin production is more explicit in males than in females which, via increased angiotensin II production, might explain differences in renal vessel regulation between the two genders.
Title: Sex differences in renin response and changes of capillary diameters after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
Isolated perfused hearts obtained from transgenic rats overexpressing cytosolic renin exhibited a 50 % reduction of infarct size after ischemia-reperfusion injury.

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.
