Detailed explanation-1: -It acts in bone marrow to stimulate the production of mature red blood cells, to maintain healthy oxygen levels in our tissues. The kidneys also produce prostaglandins, hormone-like substances, made from lipid (fat). The substances are one way in which the production of renin is stimulated.
Detailed explanation-2: -Renin is a hormone secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney; it interacts with a plasma protein substrate to produce a decapeptide prohormone angiotensin I.
Detailed explanation-3: -Renin’s primary function is therefore to eventually cause an increase in blood pressure, leading to restoration of perfusion pressure in the kidneys. Renin is secreted from juxtaglomerular kidney cells, which sense changes in renal perfusion pressure, via stretch receptors in the vascular walls.
