Human Renin, Native

Recombinantly produced in HEK cell culture as untagged native form prorenin and purified by affinity chromatography. Renin activates the renin-angiotensin system by cleaving angiotensinogen, produced by the liver, to yield angiotensin I, which is further converted into angiotensin II by ACE, the angiotensin-converting enzyme primarily within the capillaries of the lungs.
