Kinetic comparisons of amniotic fluid inactive renin and renal renin using synthetic and human renin substrates.
Inactive renin has been isolated from pooled amniotic fluid and purified approximately 642-fold. Prior to activation the isolates had approximately 4% of the activity found after activation. The observation is similar to that reported for inactive renin from chorionic cell culture and suggests a placental origin of amniotic fluid inactive renin. Using plasma from an estrogen-treated woman, reni...
متن کاملCharacterization of inactive renin from human kidney and plasma. Evidence of a renal source of circulating inactive renin.
An inactive form of renin has been isolated from human plasma. It has been suggested that this may represent renin precursor secreted from the kidney. However, early studies failed to isolate inactive renin from human renal tissue. In this investigation, rapid processing of human kidney cortex at temperatures below 4 degrees C in the presence of protease inhibitors followed by cibacron-blue aff...
متن کاملBiochemical similarity of expressed human prorenin and native inactive renin.
Prorenin is secreted by mammalian cells transfected with a human preprorenin expression construct. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the physicochemical properties of expressed prorenin in culture medium with the known characteristics of human inactive renin, which accounts for nearly half the renin in plasma and kidney. We found that expressed human prorenin strongly resembles h...
متن کاملActivation and reinactivation of inactive renin in normal human plasma.
Various facets of activation of inactive renin by acidification or cold exposure were investigated in normal human plasma. The acid activation obtained by titration was usually less than that by dialysis method, but varied from 41% to 122% of the latter. The acid phase of acid activation accounted for about 70% of the total activation achieved by the combined effects of the acid and alkaline ph...
متن کاملInactive Renin of High Molecular Weight (Big Renin) in Normal Human Plasma
Normal plasma contains inactive renin, which becomes active when plasma is dialyzed to pH 3.3 and to pH 7.5, or treated with pepsin or trypsin. Under optimal conditions, each of these procedures activated the same quantity of renin, which was not further increased by repeating or combining two procedures, thus suggesting that the same pool of inactive renin was activated by each procedure. When...
