High activity of renin was demonstrated in human prolactinoma tissue. This activity was almost completely inhibited by specific antibody raised against human renal renin, indicating that it was not due to the nonspecific action of proteases. The specific activity of renin was 5.04 ng of angiotensin I generated/mg of protein per h, comparable to that of the pituitary tissue prepared from postmortem human subjects. The biochemical properties of the prolactinoma renin were generally similar to those of well-known kidney enzyme, such as molecular mass (Mr = 46,000), optimum pH (6.0), and glycoprotein nature. However, the isoelectric points (pI) of the prolactinoma renin (pI = 4.90, 5.04, 5.24 and 5.41) differed somewhat from those of plasma and kidney renins reported hitherto. These results indicate that true renin can be produced in human prolactinoma tissue.
