CORIN

Corin is a given name and, less commonly, a surname used in English-speaking contexts. It appears in literature as a character in William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, where Corin is a rustic shepherd who interacts with other forest dwellers.

Notable people named Corin include Corin Redgrave (1939–2010), a British actor and political activist.

In biology and medicine, CORIN refers to a human gene encoding a transmembrane serine protease that activates natriuretic peptides. The enzyme processes pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), influencing blood volume and pressure. Corin is expressed mainly in the heart and kidney; variants have been studied in relation to cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

In business, Corin Group plc is a British medical device company specializing in hip and knee joint implants and related instruments, with a global sales network. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes orthopedic implants for joint replacement procedures.
