Human Renin for clinical researchers available from Lee Biosolutions, Inc

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 14, 2007 – ST. LOUIS , MO.  Lee Biosolutions, Inc (http://www.leebio.com) announces increased inventory levels for high purity native human renin and high purity recombinant human renin for Clinical researchers world wide.

Renin is a key enzyme produced and released by the kidneys which initiates a cascade of reactions leading to the formation of Angiotensin II, which helps control sodium-potassium balance, fluid volume and blood pressure in the body. Renin plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of conditions including hypertension, cirrhosis, renal tumors, Addisons disease, and Conns syndrome.

Human Renin (http://www.leebio.com/products/details.html?uid=249')  acts as a proteolytic enzyme of the kidney by releasing angiotensin which has a vasoconstrictive action which results in a higher blood pressure. Early detection of Human renin level increases related to a blood pressure increase have shown in research to provide vital prognostic and diagnostic guidelines for evaluating possible surgical treatment especially in renovascular involvement

According to  President ,Burton Lee recombinant  Human renin ( http://www.leebio.com/products/details.html?uid=312 ) has been most popular among X-Ray crystallographers  studying the  Renin-Angiotensin System.  Crystallographic Recombinant human renin is produced from crystallographic grade recombinant human pro-renin which is expressed in HEK cells, converted to renin, and the  active enzyme was purified using peptide affinity chromatography.  

Novartis Pharmaceuticals announced the first daily-dose Renin inhibitor to treat hypertension and improve organ protection in March 2005. Since then, Renin-based research has taken off and become the focus of numerous clinical studies.
