D19352,Ren,Ren-1,Ren-A,Ren1,Ren1c,Ren1d,Rn-1,Rnr

Catalog Number P50279-M08H
Organism Species Mouse
Host Human Cells
Synonyms D19352,Ren,Ren-1,Ren-A,Ren1,Ren1c,Ren1d,Rn-1,Rnr
Molecular Weight The recombinant mouse REN1 consists of 392 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 43.2 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rmREN1 is approximately 48-55 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
predicted N Leu 22
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the pro form of mouse REN1 (NP_112469.1) (Met 1-Arg 402) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity 1. 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 (P 50279-M08H) at 10ug/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated human AGT-His (P 10994-H08H) with a linear range of 31.25-250 ng/ml.
Research Area Cardiovascular |Blood |Other in Blood
Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background Mouse Renin-1, also known as Ren-1, Angiotensinogenase and Kidney renin, is a member of the peptidase 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.
