These cells are anatomica he wall of functionally associated with the cells in n the the distal convoluted tubules, which fo known as macula densa, and the whole structure the juxtaglomerular apparatus. inactive Renin is produced in both an active an een used form. Various in vitro techniques have to activate the inactive enzyme, includi treatment with trypsin, pepsin, or acid, ble for in incubation at -4℃.
