説明

Renin is the rate-limiting enzyme for the initiation of the cascade of the renin-angiotensin system. Plasma renin activity is a marker for hypertension. This is a drug target for hypertension and renal disease. In the late 18th century, renin was discovered based on the observation that the injection of saline extracts from fresh rabbit kidneys into other rabbits increased arterial blood pressure.
