RENBP renin binding protein [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 5973)

Symbol: RENBP

Full name: renin binding protein

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: RBP; RNBP

Summary: The gene product inhibits renin activity by forming a dimer with renin, a complex known as high molecular weight renin. The encoded protein contains a leucine zipper domain, which is essential for its dimerization with renin. The gene product can catalyze the interconversion of N-acetylglucosamine to N-acetylmannosamine, indicating that it is a GlcNAc 2-epimerase. Transcript variants utilizing alternative promoters have been described in the literature. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
