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

Structure

Renin belongs in the family called aspartic proteases because they use an aspartate residue for catalysis of their peptide substrate. [2]

Biochemistry

Renin is an aspartyl protease. [3]

Function

Renin plays a key role in the Renin-Angiotension sysmtem (RAS). This system is responsible for the control of blood pressure and salt balances in mammals.
