Disease
[RENI_HUMAN] Defects in REN are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430]. RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).[1] Defects in REN are the cause of familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy type 2 (HNFJ2) [MIM:613092]. It is a renal disease characterized by juvenile onset of hyperuricemia, slowly progressive renal failure and anemia.[2]
Function
[RENI_HUMAN] Renin is a highly specific endopeptidase, whose only known function is to generate angiotensin I from angiotensinogen in the plasma, initiating a cascade of reactions that produce an elevation of blood pressure and increased sodium retention by the kidney.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The crystal structures of recombinant glycosylated human renin in complex with several polyhydroxymonoamide inhibitors have been determined at up to 1.8 A resolution. The high resolution structures permit a detailed analysis of the conformation of renin, the interactions between the inhibitors and renin, and the network of ordered water molecules. The polyhydroxymonoamide inhibitors are bound with their backbones in an extended conformation, and with their side-chains occupying the S3 to S1 pockets. The inhibited renin molecules are shown to exist in both the closed and the open conformations. Inhibitors bound to the two distinct forms of renin can assume different conformations at the P3 position.
