The renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in blood pressure homeostasis, but the contribution of the type 2 angiotensin II receptor (AT2R) is still unclear. The reports that the AT2R gene has been mapped to the X chromosome in human and rat and the previous report of a gene,Bp3,on the X chromosome responsible for an increase in blood pressure have suggested that the rat AT2R gene(Agtr2)could be this gene. To elucidate whetherAgtr2isBp3, Agtr2was cloned. A simple sequence repeat in the 3′-flanking region of this gene was identified and used as a genetic marker to mapAgtr2to the X chromosome at 18.1 cM distal to the androgen receptor locus. This map position is outside the confidence interval reported forBp3,demonstrating thatAgtr2cannot beBp3. However, these data will enhance the research into the AT2R biology as well as the study of the X chromosome.
