Renin (pronounced /ˈriːnɨn/ REE-nin) is also known as angiotensinogenase, a monospecific enzyme that participates in the body's renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Renin is responsible for catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of angiotensin II. Once renin and pro-renin bind to the pro-renin receptor, there is an increased enzymatic activity and additional physiological effects. <ref name= ”hypertension”>doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2007.10.027 | |||
