Function
In later lecture we will look at an enzyme called Renin (also known as angiotensinase). The activity of this enzyme leads to elevation of blood pressure which can be beneficial in many settings. However if this process has become 'overactive' hypertension (high blood pressure) can result. Hypertension leads to cardiovascular disease which is the leading cause of death globally. The World Health Organisation states "An estimated 17.3 million people died from CVDs in 2008, representing 30% of all global deaths" see the following web page if you want to know more:
Inibitors of Renin can be used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
