Overview

PRR expands the classical RAAS paradigm; leaves open targeted therapeutic translation in cardiovascular disease.

Key Points

  • This review aims to explore the multifaceted roles of the prorenin receptor (PRR) in cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal diseases.
  • Summarized current advances in PRR and soluble PRR biology.
  • Discussed unresolved mechanistic and translational questions.
  • Evaluated PRR as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.
  • PRR enhances angiotensin II generation while activating Ang II-independent pathways linked to inflammation and fibrosis.
  • Dysregulated PRR signaling is implicated in hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes.
  • ATP6AP2 gene deficiency leads to embryonic lethality, emphasizing PRR's crucial role in development and homeostasis.
