Requires FAD. Renalase, previously thought to be a hormone, is a flavoprotein secreted into the blood by the kidney that oxidizes the 1,2-dihydro- and 1,6-dihydro- isomeric forms of beta-NAD(P)H back to beta-NAD(P)+. These isomeric forms, generated by nonspecific reduction of beta-NAD(P)+ or by tautomerization of beta-NAD(P)H, are potent inhibitors of primary metabolism dehydrogenases and pose a threat to normal respiration.
renalase knockout mouse model to explore the mechanisms mediating renalase's effect on phosphate excretion. Compared with wild-type mice maintained on a regular diet, knockout mice show decreased serum phosphate and increased urinary phosphate excretion. Both wild-type and knocout mice respond similarly to phosphate restriction by increasing renal catechol-O-methyl transferase COMT-1 activity and markedly decreasing phosphate excretion. Only catechol-O-methyl transferase expression and activity are significantly increased in knockout mice. Urinary dopamine increases by twofold, whereas urinary l-DOPA excretion decreases by twofold in the knockout mouse
renalase is selective for the alpha-anomer, which binds with a dissociation constant of about 20 microM. This association precedes monophasic two-electron reduction of the FAD cofactor with a rate constant of 40.2 per s. The reduced enzyme then delivers both electrons to dioxygen in a second-order reaction with a rate constant of about 2900 per M and s. Renalase has modest affinity for its beta-NADP+ product, and the FAD cofactor has a reduction potential of -155 mV that is unaltered by saturating beta-NADP+. Data suggest that the products are formed and released in a kinetically ordered sequence, first beta-NADP+ then H2O2
the substrate alpha-dihydropyridyl ring is oxidized by transferring two electrons to the flavin cofactor and the configuration of the ribose C1 is converted from alpha to beta. The reduced FAD cofactor then reoxidizes by reacting with dioxygen to yield hydrogen peroxide
a recognizable NADP-binding site is absent in the protein structure, enzyme shows poor affinity for, and poor reactivity towards, NADH and NADPH with Kd values of ca 2 mM

substantial expression in interstitial and luteal cells of ovary. Expression increases in testes and ovaries as mice develop and is further enhanced in the ovaries of pregnant mice
renalase is predominantly expressed in reproductive/steroidogenic systems, with particularly substantial expression in oocytes, granulosa, interstitial and luteal cells of ovary, spermatogenic cells of testis, and cortex of adrenal gland

to 2.5 A resolution. Renalase adopts the p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase fold topology, comprising a Rossmann-fold-based flavin adenine dinucleotide-binding domain and a putative substrate-binding domain, the latter of which contains a five-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet. A large cavity, facing the flavin ring, presumably represents the active site. The renalase active site is fully solvent exposed and lacks an aromatic cage for binding the substrate amino group

N-terminally His-tagged renalase isoform 1 is expressed in Escherichia coli. Heterologous expression of renalase in Escherichia coli results in significant inclusion body accumulation at all temperatures tested
renalase deficiency is associated with increased renal dopamine synthesis, stimulated phosphate excretion, and moderately severe hypophosphatemia. The signal to increase renal dopamine synthesis is strong since it overcomes a compensatory increase in catechol-O-methyl transferase activity
renalase infusion in rats causes a decrease in cardiac contractility, heart rate, and blood pressure and prevents a compensatory increase in peripheral vascular tone
