Mouse Renin (REN) ELISA Kit

Intended for research use only, this immunoassay kit from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of mouse renin (REN), an aspartyl protease secreted by juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney that cleaves angiotensinogen to drive angiotensin I production and sits at the top of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade that governs blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and vascular tone.

Each kit supplies the reagents and pre-coated plate needed to quantify renin in mouse sample types commonly collected for cardiovascular, hypertension, diabetic, and renal research. The absorbance-based readout works with standard laboratory microplate readers, and the protocol is structured for the small sample volumes typical of murine studies.

Investigators frequently combine this kit with downstream functional readouts to assess how genetic, pharmacological, or dietary interventions shift circulating renin levels in mouse models of disease.
