The effects of strain, sex, hypophysectomy and hormone treatment on mouse submandibular gland renin, kallikrein, S2266 hydrolase, and BAEe esterase activities have been examined. Renin activity is determined by the Rnr locus on mouse Chromosome 1. Female SWR/J mice (Rnr s/Rnr s) have 1000-fold higher submandibular gland renin activity than C57BL/6J mice (Rnr b/Rnr b). Both strains have similar kallikrein activity. Renin, BAEe esterase, and S2266 hydrolase are substantially higher in male mice compared to females of the same strain whereas kallikrein is not. Dihydrotestosterone and/or thyroxine treatment induces renin, BAEe esterase, and S2266 hydrolase in female mice with little effect on kallikrein. All four enzyme activities are profoundly reduced by hypophysectomy. Dihydrotestosterone and thyroxine are both required to restore renin, BAEe esterase, and S2266 hydrolase to induced levels. Dihydrotestosterone and. or thyroxine restores kallikrein to control levels. We conclude that renin and kallikrein in the mouse submandibular gland are under different genetic and endocrine control. In addition, the synthetic substrate S2266 is not a specific substrate for kallikrein activity in mouse submandibular gland cytosol.
