definition updated to:
A specialized, granular, smooth muscle cell located in the media of the afferent arteriole near the entrance to the glomerulus in the kidney. This cell functions as the primary site of renin synthesis, storage, and release. It plays a crucial role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and is a key component of the juxtaglomerular apparatus, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and fluid-electrolyte balance.
