Protein Function
Catalyzes the oxidation of the less abundant 1,2-dihydro-beta-NAD (P) and 1,6-dihydro-beta-NAD (P) to form beta-NAD (P)+. The enzyme hormone is secreted by the kidney, and circulates in blood and modulates cardiac function and systemic blood pressure. Lowers blood pressure in vivo by decreasing cardiac contractility and heart rate and preventing a compensatory increase in peripheral vascular tone, suggesting a causal link to the increased plasma catecholamine and heightened cardiovascular risk. High concentrations of catecholamines activate plasma renalase and promotes its secretion and synthesis.
Background
Renalase, FAD-dependent amine oxidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RNLS gene. It is mapped to 10q23.31. Renalase is a flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent amine oxidase that is secreted into the blood from the kidney. The renalase protein consists of a putative secretory signal peptide (SignalP score of 0.4), a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-binding region, and an oxidase domain. At least four alteative splicing isoforms have been identified in humans (hRenalase1 to hRenalase4). Only hRenalase1 is detected in human blood samples, which means that hRenalase2 to 4 probably have different functions than hRenalase1.

Tissue Specificity
Secreted into the blood by the kidney. Highly expressed in the kidney, expressed at lower level in heart, skeletal muscle and small intestine. Its plasma concentration is markedly reduced in patients with end-stage renal disease, as compared with healthy subjects.
