Background

Renin-1, also known as Ren-1, Angiotensinogenase and Kidney renin, is a member of thepeptidase A1 family. Renin-1 is synthesized by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney in response to decreased blood pressure and sodium concentration. androgen and thyroid hormones influence levels of Renin-1 in mouse submandibular gland (SMG) primarily by regulating the amount of Renin-1 mRNA available for translation. Renin-1 is a highly specific endopeptidase, 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. It is expressed at relatively low levels in mouse SMG and kidney. Ren-2 is expressed at high levels in the mouse SMG and at very low levels, if at all, in the kidney. Ren-1 and Ren-2 are closely linked on mouse chromosome 1, show extensive homology in coding and noncoding regions and provide a model for studying the regulation of gene expression.

Applications

ELISA

Endotoxin

< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Purity

> 97 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate 5­FAM/QXL™ 520 (Peti­Peterdi, J. et al., 2009, Physiology 24:88.) . The specific activity is > 20 pmoles/min/μg. 2. Immobilized mouse REN1-His at 10ug/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated human AGT-His with a linear range of 31. 25-250 ng/ml.

Reconstitution

Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.

Shipping Conditions

This product is provided as lyophilized powder which is shipped with ice packs.

Storage Conditions

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
