摘要
Angiotensinogen is an alpha2-globulin involved in the maintenance of blood pressure and electrolyte balance. We have refined the position of the mouse angiotensinogen locus (Agt) on Chromosome (Chr) 8 and have also confirmed the assignment of the human angiotensinogen locus (AGT) to Chr 1. The segregation of several restriction fragment length variants (RFLVs) was followed in two interspecific backcross sets and in four recombinant inbred (RI) mouse sets. Analysis of the segregation patterns closely linked Agt to Aprt and Emv-2, which places the angiotensinogen locus on the distal end of mouse Chr 8. Additionally, a literature search has revealed that the strain distribution pattern (SDP) for the mouse skeletal alpha-actin locus 1 (Actsk-1, previously Actal, Acta, or Acts) is nearly identical to the SDP for Agt in two RI sets. On the basis of this information we were able to reassign Actsk-1 to mouse Chr 8. By screening a panel of human-mouse somatic cell hybrids, we confirmed that the human angiotensinogen locus lies on Chr 1. This information describes a new region of conserved linkage homology between mouse Chr 8 and human Chr 1. It also defines the end of a large region of conserved linkage homology between mouse Chr 8 and human Chr 16.
