Renin is an enzyme produced by the kidneys that plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance. It initiates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) by converting angiotensinogen, a protein produced by the liver, into angiotensin I. This process ultimately leads to the production of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure and stimulates aldosterone release, promoting sodium and water retention. Renin's activity is primarily regulated by blood pressure, sodium concentration, and sympathetic nervous system activity.
What else can I help you with?
Is renin a hormone or enzyme?
Renin is an enzyme, not a hormone.
The enzyme that converts angiotensinogen into antiotensin you is?
Renin is the enzyme that converts angiotensinogen into angiotensin I in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
What enzyme is released by the juxtaglomerular cells?
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.
Which enzyme is secreted by the juxtaglomerular apparatus?
Renin is the enzyme secreted by the juxtaglomerular apparatus.
Is renin a hormone?
by function is enzyme ... by structure is hormone
