Renin is an enzyme, not a hormone.
Renin is the enzyme released by juxtaglomerular cells. It plays a key role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
Renin is the enzyme secreted by the juxtaglomerular apparatus.
When the kidney detects low blood volume, it activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, leading to the release of renin, which converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, eventually converting to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II helps to constrict blood vessels, increase blood pressure, and stimulate the release of aldosterone, which promotes sodium and water retention to restore blood volume.
The mechanism through which a single hormone molecule triggers the generation of thousands to millions of enzyme molecules is called biological signal transductionThis process begins with a hormone molecule binding to its receptor on the surface of a cell. Following this, there is a signal generated.Inmolecular biology, asignal is said to be generated when a certain inter-cellular or membrane-bound protein becomes phosphorylated and triggers further downstream events.The ultimate result (or the end step) ofthis signal transduction pathwayis to up-regulate thetranscription of a specific enzyme-coding gene. When many copies of thisgene are transcribed,several molecules of the enzymeswill be produces.
No, insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas to lower a person's blood sugar level. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a biological process. An example of an enzyme is 'Amylase' this enzyme is found in saliva and is responsible for the initial breakdown of sugar before entering the stomach.
by function is enzyme ... by structure is hormone
Rennin : It is an enzyme (protein) secreted by kidneys to regulate the blood pressure. It's a digestive enzyme in gastric juice. Renin :It is a hormone.
