Abstract excerpt
Recent gene targeting and pharmacological studies have shown that the renin-angiotensin system is essential for the development of the mammalian kidney and urinary tract system. We have generated mutant mice carrying a targeted null mutation of the angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1) or type 2 receptor (AT2) gene. Analyses of these two mutant mice revealed that both mutants have a distinct phenotype in the kidney...
