Renin Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Renin, a specialized endopeptidase, uniquely converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, initiating a cascade that elevates blood pressure and enhances kidney sodium retention. Renin's precision in initiating the angiotensin pathway underscores its pivotal role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Renin Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Renin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag. The total length of Renin Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is 383 a.a., with molecular weight of 43-50 kDa.

Renin, a specialized endopeptidase, serves a singular function in the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I within the plasma. This enzymatic activity sets off a series of reactions leading to an increase in blood pressure and enhanced sodium retention by the kidneys. Renin's precision in initiating the angiotensin pathway underscores its pivotal role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance within the body.

Measured by its ability to cleave a fluorogenic peptide substrate, Arg-Glu(EDANS)-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Val-Ile-His-Thr-Lys(dabcyl)-Arg. The specific activity is <53.83 pmol/min/μg, as measured under the described conditions.

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 8% Sucrose, 5% Mannitol, 0.05% Tween80, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 or PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
