Establishing a novel assay system for measuring renin concentration using cost effective recombinant ovine angiotensinogen
Background: Plasma renin can predict future cardiovascular events as well as the prevalence of chronic renal disease in hypertensive subjects. Ovine angiotensinogen (oANG) is a better substrate for measuring renin concentration through activity assay. Recombinant oANG expressed in Escherichia coli c...
