| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to clarify the roles of (pro)renin receptor in cerebral, cardiac and renal diseases. We have demonstrated that expression of (pro)renin receptor protein in mouse kidney is increased after dehydration or high salt diet. We also showed that (pro)renin receptor regulates vesicular pH. Plasma soluble (pro)renin receptor concentration is increased in the patients of congestive heart failure and chronic renalfailure. These observations suggest that (pro)renin receptor has crucial roles in organ homeostasis and cerebral, cardiac and renal diseases.
