Rabbit Anti-Renalase/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Renalase, a novel FAD dependent amine oxidase, is secreted by the kidney, degrades circulating catecholamines, and modulates cardiac function and lowers systemic blood pressure. In vivo, it has been found to decrease cardiac contractility and heart rate and prevents a compensatory increase in peripheral vascular tone, possibly explaining the association between increased plasma catecholamines and heightened cardiovascular risk. The plasma concentration of renalase is markedly reduced in patients with end-stage renal disease, as compared with healthy subjects. The administration of renalase (or renalase mimics) may offer a new approach to the treatment of hypertension commonly found in renal disease, which is associated with a marked increase in cardiovascular disease.
Function:
Probable FAD-dependent amine oxidase secreted by the kidney, which circulates in blood and modulates cardiac function and systemic blood pressure. Degrades catecholamines such as dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine in vitro. Lowers blood pressure in vivo by decreasing cardiac contractility and heart rate and preventing a compensatory increase in peripheral vascular tone, suggesting a causal link to the increased plasma catecholamine and heightened cardiovascular risk. High concentrations of catecholamines activate plasma renalase and promotes its secretion and synthesis (By similarity). According to PubMed:17385068, is unlikely that renalase has physiologically relevant catecholamine-oxidizing activity.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Secreted into the blood by the kidney. Highly expressed in the kidney, expressed at lower level in heart, skeletal muscle and small intestine. Its plasma concentration is markedly reduced in patients with end-stage renal disease, as compared with healthy subjects.
Similarity:
Belongs to the renalase family.

肾胺酶（renalase）是肾脏产生一种新型的蛋白质，是一种依赖于黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸的胺氧化酶,由肾脏分泌入血,通过降解儿茶酚胺调节心脏功能和血压。因肾脏疾病与心血管疾病密切相关,因此研究肾胺酶的功能越来越受到人们的关注。
