Recombinant Human Angiotensinogen/Serpin A8/AGT (C-6His)

Source: Human Cells. MW :51.7kD. Recombinant Human Serpin A8/Angiotensinogen is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Asp34-Ala485 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Angiotensinogen is involved in maintaining blood pressure and in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension and preeclampsia. Genetic variations in Angiotensinogen are associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension, and can cause renal tubular dysgenesis, a severe disorder of renal tubular development. Defects in the encoding gene have also been associated with non-familial structural atrial fibrillation, and inflammatory bowel disease. Protein function: Essential component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a potent regulator of blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. [The UniProt Consortium]
