During the RAAS mechanism, an inactive enzyme is an Angiotensinogen which is produced by the liver to drop blood pressure. Angiotensinogen is an inactive enzyme converted into Angiotensin -1 by renin which is released from the juxtaglomerular part of the kidney and Angiotensin -1 is converted into Angiotensin -2 by ACE ( angiotensin -1 converting enzyme).
