Antibody to the prorenin profragment, renin-active substance containing the same and prorenin assay reagent using the same

摘要

Provided by the present invention are a human prorenin profragment N-terminated peptide antibody capable of specifically recognizing a peptide containing at least 15 amino acid residues from the first leucine residue to the 15th arginine residue in the N-terminated peptide of the human prorenin profragment and a complex of the same with human prorenin. The antibody can be used as a prorenin assay reagent. The human prorenin profragment N-terminated peptide antibody is useful as a reagent for the assay of human prorenin in blood.
