title: Specific cleavage of synthetic renin substrate by mouse gamma-nerve growth factor.
abstract: Results of the present investigation indicate that mouse gamma-nerve growth factor (gamma-NGF), which belongs to the kallikrein family of proteins, specifically cleaves the Phe-His bond of a synthetic renin substrate and exhibits rat-tonin-like activity. Since other mouse kallikreins do not cleave this bond, gamma-NGF may play a regulatory role in the generation of antiogensin-II.
