The Synthesis of a Tetradecapeptide R E N I N Substrate by Leonard

The blood of human beings with hypertensive cardiovascular disease (1), as well as of animals with experimental renal hypertension (2, 3) was found to contain the pressor substance angiotensin 1 (hypertensin) (4). This material was later found to exist in two forms (5). The first of these, the decapeptide angiotensin I, is the product of the action of the renal enzyme renin upon its plasma subs...

Arteriolar constriction and local renin-angiotensin system in rat microcirculation.

Intravital microscopy was used in a preparation of rat cremaster muscle that was isolated from its normal blood supply and externally perfused with a physiological solution, thus allowing exclusion of circulating converting enzyme, renin, and angiotensinogen. The arterioles studied were classified as second-, third-, and fourth-order arterioles with mean diameters of 60.5, 29.9, and 14.8 micron...

A Comparison of the and Pseudorenin* Substrate Specificities of Cathepsin D

(:athepsin I), purified from hog spleen, releases angiotensin I from tctradecapeptide renin substrate and from protein renin substrates purified from hog and human plasma. However, the enzyme does not art on the naturally occurring renin substrate as it exists in plasma nor on purified substrate in the presence of plasma. Cathepsin D releases angiotensin 1 quantitatively from tetradecapeptide r...

Mechanism of inhibition of human renin by monoclonal antibodies.

The mechanism by which monoclonal antibodies directed against human renin (R3-36-16 and R3-47-10) inhibit renin activity was investigated using various substrates. Both antibodies acted as potent inhibitors of human renin activity when human angiotensinogen was used as a substrate. However, their effects differed clearly in the presence of synthetic tetradecapeptide. When low concentrations of ...
