malfunction | dysregulated extracellular renalase signalling promotes tumour growth | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | administration of renalase lowers blood pressure and heart rate and also protects cells and organs against ischaemic and toxic injury. Independent of its enzymatic properties, renalase functions as a cytokine that provides protection to cells, tissues and organs by interacting with its receptor to activate protein kinase B, JAK/STAT, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. Extracellular renalase protects against renal injury, cardiac injury, and acute pancreatitis | Homo sapiens |
