Abstract

Transgenic mice and rats have become popular tools to study the regulation of gene expression and the consequences of protein over-production. Over the past decade, numerous transgenic models have been developed to study the mechanisms of human renin gene expression and the participation of the renin–angiotensin system in the development of hypertension. Herein we will provide an overview of what has been learned from the use of transgenic models for studying the human renin gene.
