Abstract excerpt
We have reported that aminopeptidase N/CD13, which metabolizes angiotensin III to angiotensin IV, exhibits greater renal tubular expression in the Dahl salt-resistant (SR/Jr) rat than its salt-sensitive (SS/Jr) counterpart. In this work, aminopeptidase N (Anpep) genes from SS/Jr and SR/Jr strains were compared. The coding regions contained only silent single nucleotide polymorphisms between strains. The 5'...
