Popis: Renin substrate, angiotensinogen, has been purified from human plasma by methods which permit the processing of large amounts of outdated bank blood. The purified protein is homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis at pH 9.5. The specific activity of 18 nmol/mg corresponds to a molecular weight of 56,000, while a higher value, 90,000, is found by gel filtration. Chromatography of partially purified renin substrate on DEAE-cellulose in a descending pH gradient shows evidence for the existence of multiple forms. However, some of these forms appear to be lost after chromatography on hydroxylapatite.
