Abstract excerpt
Adducin (ADD) is a heterodimeric protein involved in cellular signal transduction. A mutation in the alpha subunit affects ion transport and blood pressure in primary hypertension of Milan rats (MHS) and humans. In rats this effect is modulated by another mutation in the beta subunit. The recentl...
