Renin is an enzyme secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney in response to low blood pressure. Its primary function is to convert angiotensinogen, a protein produced by the liver, into angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) into the biologically active hormone angiotensin II, which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
