Abstract excerpt
Angiotensinogen is cleaved by renin and angiotensin-converting enzyme to liberate the potent vasocontrictor peptide angiotensin II. We have recently identified a cis-acting genetic lesion associated with high levels of angiotensinogen mRNA in the testis and salivary gland of Swiss mice. To determ...
