The Na,K-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) alpha 2 subunit gene was found to display restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) between the genomes of normotensive and hypertensive rats when digested with the restriction enzymes Bgl II and Hind III. In normotensive rats, we tested the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and its substrain, the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR-SP). Rat (SD) complementary (c) DNA encoding the alpha 2 subunit of Na,K-ATPase was used as a probe. When the probe was dissected these RFLPs were found to occur in the vicinity of the genomic locus encoding the middle part of the messenger (m) RNA for the alpha 2 subunit of Na,K-ATPase. A Northern blot analysis indicated that these RFLPs did not influence the alpha 2 subunit with regard to either size or amount of mRNA.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
