MEASUREMENT METHODS - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87.

Definition:A method which quantifies the catalytic effect exerted by renin in a specified sample of plasma, the fibrinogen-containing fluid portion of the blood in which the particulate components are suspended. Renin is a proteolytic enzyme synthesized, stored, and secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney; it plays a role in regulation of blood pressure by catalyzing the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: plasma renin activity analysis;   plasma renin activity test
