Dear student,
 
 Rennin
 Renin
Rennin is an enzyme.
Renin is a hormone.
This is produced by the gastric glands.
This is produced by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney.
The enzyme is responsible for the conversion of caseinogen to solid casein which turns the milk to curd.
The hormone is responsible for the regulation of the blood volume and the blood pressure with the help of angiotensin. The rate of glomerular filtrate is also controlled.
