Rennin vs Renin - What's the difference?

rennin | renin |

In enzyme terms the difference between rennin and renin

is that rennin is a proteolytic enzyme, obtained from the gastric juice of the abomasum of calves, used to coagulate milk and make cheese while renin is a circulating enzyme released by mammalian kidneys that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin-I. Because its activity ultimately leads to formation of angiotensin-II and aldosterone, this hormone plays a role in maintaining blood pressure.
