Key result
The absence of renin in aglomerular kidneys and its presence in glomerular kidneys suggest that the tubular portion of the mammalian kidney does not produce or store renin.
This early comparative anatomy study suggests that renin is produced or stored in the glomerular rather than the tubular portion of the kidney.
Supports glomerular renin localization in mammals; leaves open cellular source and human translation for further study.
The absence of glomeruli in the kidney of the midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus) is reported. 2. The detection of renin in the glomerular kidney of the carp, the catfish, and the hog, and the apparent absence of this substance in the aglomerular kidney of the midshipman fish suggest that the tubular portion of the mammalian kidney does not produce or store renin.

Friedman et al. (1942) studied this question. The absence of renin in aglomerular kidneys and its presence in glomerular kidneys suggest that the tubular portion of the mammalian kidney does not produce or store renin.
