Biological function summary
Prorenin initiates the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I an important step in the RAS. In its inactive form prorenin circulates throughout the body but remains ready for activation. The activation involves a non-proteolytic conformational change or proteolytic cleavage within the kidneys. Prorenin may exist as part of a complex with the (pro)renin receptor which influences various physiological processes beyond blood pressure regulation.
Pathways
This precursor functions as an important regulator within the renin-angiotensin system. Prorenin by forming renin is directly involved with the conversion of angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. This initial step leads to further pathways that construct angiotensin II a potent vasoconstrictor affecting the vascular system. The activity of angiotensin II ties closely to the actions of the enzyme angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) which transforms angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

General info
Function
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.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase A1 family.
