abstract：:The existence of a tissue renin-angiotensin (RAS) system independent of the circulating RAS has prompted the search for cellular binding sites for angiotensinogen and for renin in order to explain their tissue uptake. Two receptors that bind with similar affinity mature renin and prorenin were identified, the mannose-...
