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

What happens to the enzyme rennin when the temperature is raised to the boiling point?

When the temperature is raised to the boiling point, the enzyme rennin will denature, meaning it will lose its shape and function due to the high heat. This will render the enzyme ineffective in catalyzing reactions.

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.


Do you expect that optimal PH for pepsin would be the same as that for rennin?

No, optimal pH for pepsin is around 2.0 (acidic environment) while optimal pH for rennin is around 6.5-6.7 (slightly acidic to neutral environment). Each enzyme has a specific pH range at which it functions most efficiently due to its unique structure and function.


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.
