Function
RENI2_MOUSE Renin is a highly specific endopeptidase, related to pepsin, 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. Its function in the salivary gland is not understood.
