Mouse Ren1 Recombinant Protein (C-His) is a recombinant protein expressed in mammalian cells, spanning Met1-Arg402, with a C-terminal His tag. Predicted molecular weight: 45.31 kDa. Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Supplied lyophilized from a solution in PBS pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 4% Trehalose, 1% Mannitol. Applications: ELISA, immunogen, SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Renin-1 is a ~44 kDa protein. Renin 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.
