We have recently identified a cis-acting genetic lesion affecting angiotensinogen gene expression in testis and salivary gland. Accordingly, the angiotensinogen gene was assigned to mouse chromosome 8 by screening a series of hybrid cell lines for retention of mouse angiotensinogen sequences by genomic Southern analysis. In AKXD recombinant inbred mice, the angiotensinogen gene is 2.4 +/- 1.8 centiMorgan from Rn7S-8,a 7S RNA gene located on chromosome 8 (Taylor, B.A., personal communication). However, the segregation of salivary and testicular angiotensinogen expression phenotypes into inbred mouse strains was not concordant with the known chromosome 8 proviruses Emv-2, Mtv-21, Xmv-12 or Xmv-26.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000808 Angiotensinogen An alpha-globulin of about 453 amino acids, depending on the species. It is produced by the liver in response to lowered blood pressure and secreted into blood circulation. Angiotensinogen is the inactive precursor of the ANGIOTENSINS produced in the body by successive enzyme cleavages. Cleavage of angiotensinogen by RENIN yields the decapeptide ANGIOTENSIN I. Further cleavage of angiotensin I (by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME) yields the potent vasoconstrictor octapeptide ANGIOTENSIN II; and then, via other enzymes, other angiotensins also involved in the hemodynamic-regulating RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.

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.

D015139 Blotting, Southern A method (first developed by E.M.
