What does RENNIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistrymedical
An enzyme found in the stomach of young mammals that causes milk to curdle, also known as chymosin.
Rennin is produced in the stomach lining of unweaned calves and other young mammals, where it curdles the milk protein casein so that it stays in the stomach long enough to be digested properly. It is this same enzyme, extracted and purified, that gives rennet its milk-curdling power in cheesemaking, so the two words are closely linked even though rennet is the traded substance and rennin is the enzyme itself. Modern biochemistry more often uses the name chymosin for the same enzyme, especially once it began to be produced by fermentation rather than taken from calves. Rennin should not be confused with renin, an unrelated enzyme made by the kidneys that helps regulate blood pressure.
