Abstract excerpt
ANG II AT2 receptor (AT2R)-deficient mice exhibit abnormal ureteric bud (UB) budding, increased incidence of double ureters, and vesicoureteral reflux. However, the role of the AT2R during UB morphogenesis and the mechanisms by which aberrant AT2R signaling disrupts renal collecting system development have not been fully defined. In this study, we mapped the expression of the AT2R during mouse metanephric...
