abstractText | Of the two major isoforms of the angiotensin II receptors, type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2), little is known about the structure and features of AT2. We cloned a mouse AT2 cDNA from a mouse fetus cDNA library and an AT2 genomic DNA from a 129SV mouse genomic DNA library. The amino acid sequence of the mouse AT2 (363 residues) deduced from a mouse cDNA clone showed seven membrane-spanning domains. Amino acid identity of the mouse AT2 with mouse AT1 is 37%, and 98% with rat AT2. The genomic DNA (4.4 kb) contained three exons and two introns and the entire coding region was contained in the third exon. |
