Angiotensinogen

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Angiotensinogen is a lab equipment product offered by Merck Group. It is a precursor protein that is cleaved by renin to produce angiotensin I, the first step in the renin-angiotensin system. This product is used in various research and diagnostic applications.

Quantifying Plasma Renin Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood was collected via cardiac puncture with EDTA and centrifuged to isolate plasma (n=6–7 per group). For the renin activity assay, 25 μl of plasma was added to 95 μl of buffer (20 mM Tris/Cl, 30 mM EDTA, 0.2% BSA, pH 7.4 at 37°C). Synthetic renin substrate (angiotensinogen, Sigma–Aldrich, Oakville, ON) was added to a final concentration of 1 μM and PMSF protease inhibitor was added to a final concentration of 1 mM. Tubes were incubated on ice to assess native renin via endogenous angiotensin I levels or incubated for 1 h at 37°C to assess active renin levels. Angiotensin I was measured using ELISA as per manufacturer’s instructions (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
