Abstract
Mature juxtaglomerular epithelioid cell secretory granules of the rat exhibit both renin- and cathepsin B-like immunoreactivity. On the basis of the coexistence with renin at a pH which, according to previous experiments, is probably in the range of that in lysosomes, cathepsin B is suggested to be involved in the activation of renin prior to secretion.Entities:
