Abstract excerpt
The renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in blood pressure homeostasis, but the contribution of the type 2 angiotensin II receptor (AT2R) is still unclear. The reports that the AT2R gene has been mapped to the X chromosome in human and rat and the previous report of a gene, Bp3, on th...
