Long-Range Control of Renin Gene Expression in Tsukuba Hypertensive Mice.

Renin, a rate-limiting enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system, is regulated to maintain blood pressure homeostasis: renin gene expression in the kidney is suppressed in a hypertensive environment. We found that expression of a 15-kb human RENIN (hREN) transgene was aberrantly upregulated (>4.2-fo...
