An angiotensinogenase is another word for renin, a circulating enzyme released by the kidneys which converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin-I. It plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure.

Why would someone need to use renin?

Renin is a protein released by cells in your kidneys when you have low sodium levels. Renin increases the amount of angiotensinogenase increasing blood pressure and renin inhibitors are used to prevent increased blood pressure that can lead to a number of problems.


What is produced by the kidneys?

The kidney secretes the hormones renin, calcitriol and erythropoietin. Renin - also known as angiotensinogenase, helps to control the body's blood pressure by regulating the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body. Calcitriol - This is a form of Vitamin D which regulates calcium and phosphorous levels in the body. Erythropoietin - This is a glycoprotein hormone and has an important role in the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
