Identification of renin and renin-like enzymes in rat brain by a renin-specific antibody.

چکیده
1. The major angiotensin I-generating activity of rat brain extracts has a pH optimum different from that of renal renin and is not inhibited by renin specific antibody. 2. Affinity chromatography utilizing renin specific antibody, pepstatin and alpha-casein yielded fractions that resembled renal renin more closely with respect to antibody inhibition and pH optimum as well as an absence of the ability to hydrolyse haemoglobin. 3. We conclude that rat brain contains a host of enzymes with angiotensin I-generating activity including acid and neutral proteases and an enzyme with the immunochemical identity of renal renin. The biosynthetic origins of this renin-like protein remain uncertain.

1. Localization of renin in rat and mouse brain was determined by immunohistochemical methods with specific anti-renin antibodies. 2. Renin-containing neuronal cells were found in the medulla oblongata, cerebellar nuclei and hypothalamus. Purkinje cells contained renin. 3. Glia-like cells contained renin. Some of them are closely associated with vascular walls and these vascular walls were reni...

1. Angiotensin I-generating activity of rat brain extract was separated into two components by affinity chromatography on a casein-Sepharose gel column. 2. The component without affinity to the gel was identified as true renin on the basis of its sensitivity to anti-renin antibody and the lack of protease activity. 3. The second renin-like component with affinity to the gel was a protease insen...

Antibodies raised to pure canine renal renin were used to probe homology of renin from other species. Goat, rabbit, and mouse antibodies exhibited similar properties and were specific for renin as confirmed by immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and selective inhibition of renin enzymatic activity. Goat antibody also inhibited the enzymatic activities of rat, hog, and bovine renin. Immunolo...
