curds casein in the stomach
Renin is an enzyme secreted by the kidneys (from specialized cells called the juxtaglomerular aparatus) whose function is to aid in the conversion of angiotensinogen into angiontensinogen II. Renin controls blood pressure by means of extracellular volume mediation and vasoconstriction

∙ 14y agoRennin is found in kidneys. Rennin angiotensin system helps maintain blood pressure. There are some medication that targets that system to control blood pressure. Special target for diabetic patients.

Is rennin a catalyst?
rennin is an enzyme which makes milk harden in your stomach so that it can be broken down and digested
What substrate is rennin?
angiotensinogen
What does rennin change milk into?
its all to do with the milk proteins, caseins. the rennin makes them coagulate. you probbably never got any of that, im doing a planning task and its hard.
Which of these enzymes aids in coagulation of blood-pepsin rennin amylase or tryptase?
pepsin
How effective would rennin be at 0 degree celsius?
Rennin is very ineffective at 0 degrees. Its optimum temperature which it works in is body temperature (37oC). If the enzyme is heated up to 70 degrees then it will denature and have no effects at all.

What is a factor that helps create the stomach mucosal barrier?
rennin
What is chymosin?
Chymsosin, also known as rennin, is a digestive enzyme secreted into the stomachs of very young mammals; its function is to curdle milk to slow its passage through the digestive system, thus allowing more time for nutrients to be absorbed. Rennin is also used in cheese-making.
Should vegetarians eat rennin?
No. Rennin is derived fom rennet, which comes from a cows stomach.
Is rennin a catalyst?
rennin is an enzyme which makes milk harden in your stomach so that it can be broken down and digested
What does rennin do in the stomach?
Rennin helps to break down milk. Renin breaks down angiotensinogen.
Where is rennin produced?
In the stomach
What substrate is rennin?
angiotensinogen
What would happen to a newborn mammal if its body could not produce rennin?
The function of rennin is to curdle milk proteins by converting the soluble protein caesinogen into the insoluble protein caesinogen. If the new born mammal is unable to produce rennin, then the soluble milk proteins would just pass through the stomach into the duodenum like water. This is bad because the milk proteins would not be able to get digested by the pepsin. However, if there is rennin, the converted insoluble milk proteins would be abe to stay in the stomach long enough for the pepsin to digest it into polypeptides.
What enzymes solidifies milk?
rennin
What pH does rennin work best?
the optimal pH for rennin is around 1-2, as this closely resembles the acidic environment of the stomach where rennin is most commonly found. However rennin also works at neutral pH, although at a much lower level of reaction. This is necessary because sometimes the stomach is diluted by outside materials.
