Assessment of the (Pro)renin Receptor Protein Expression in Organs.
Current Issues in Molecular Biology 2024 Februrary 26
The (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) is an essential component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) as a specific single-pass transmembrane receptor for prorenin and renin and has now emerged as a multifunctional protein implicated in a wide variety of developmental and physio-pathological processes and pathways. The (P)RR may be of pathological significance in metabolic syndrome. The (P)RR has received much consideration; substantial efforts have been made to understand the localization, regulation, and function of the (P)RR at both a molecular and system level. (P)RR regulation of cell function depends on whether it is intact or cleaved into its constituent forms. Therefore, the present chapter describes immunohistochemical approaches to examine the expression of (P)RR in various organs. It was shown that different molecular forms of (P)RR could be present in different tissue compartments in almost all organs. Among them, the liver has high PRR activity. Our findings could elucidate more detailed distribution of different (P)RR molecular forms in different organs, which could provide useful information to further investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms of the development of various diseases in the future.
