Renalase Proteins and Enzymes

Renalase is a novel, 35-37 kDa FAD-dependent amine oxidase that is secreted primarily by glomerular and renal tubule epithelium. It presumably degrades catecholamines and lowers blood pressure by decreasing heart rate and cardiac contractility. In addition to renal cells, Renalase is produced by skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers. The human Renalas...
