description
Transgene Type: Transgenic (random, expressed)
Mutation: Insertion
  The transgene was designed with the tetracycline-responsive element (TRE; also called tet-operator or tetO) upstream of a rat vascular chymase (RVCH or Mcpt1) gene modified such that a human influenza hemagglutinin (HA) tag is added to the C terminus of mature RVCH protein. With ddition of dox expression of the RVCH-HA fusion protein can be completely abolished, reversing the hypertension phenotype. (J:70031)
