- Renin (pronounced /ˈriːnɨn/ REE-nin), also known as angiotensinogenase is an enzyme that participates in the body's renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that mediates extracellular volume (i.e., that of the blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid), and arterial vasoconstriction.
- Thus, it regulates the body's mean arterial blood pressure. [1]
