Description: Renin is a 37 kDa enzyme that consists of 345 amino acids. It belongs to the aspartic acid protease family and is a part of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) that controls blood pressure, renal blood flux, glomerular filtration, and sodium/potassium homeostasis. Renin has been investigated for its involvement in hyper tension, forms of Hyperaldosteronism, Hypokalemia, and kidney tumors.
Research Use Only. Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures.
The Renin Activity LIA is for the quantitative determination of enzymatic Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) in Human plasma by a chemiluminescent immunoassay. Results are expressed in terms of mass of angiotensin-I (Ang-I) generated per volume of Human plasma in unit time (ng/mL.h). Short incubation period Includes standards and controls High sensitivity of 0.08 ng/mL
