pubmed-article:6339858 | pubmed:abstractText | Human renal renin was isolated from a partially purified preparation, Haas' preparation step 5 material, with a remarkably high yield of 28% by a newly developed method. This method consisted of only four steps including affinity chromatography on pepstatin-aminohexyl-agarose, chromatofocusing, gel filtration and DEAE-chromatography after the initial extraction and concentration. This method enabled us to obtain pure human renin without another affinity column used by other investigators. Pure human renin had a molecular weight of 40,000 daltons as estimated by gel filtration and sodiumdodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The pI of purified renin was 5.6. | lld:pubmed |
