title: Localization of the genes encoding the three rat angiotensin II receptors, Agtr1a, Agtr1b, Agtr2, and the human AGTR2 receptor respectively to rat chromosomes 17q12, 2q24 and Xq34, and the human Xq22.
abstract: Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, we determined the regional localization of the 3 rat genes encoding angiotensin II receptors at 17q12 (Agtr1a), 2q24 (Agtr1b) and Xq34 (Agtr2). In parallel, we showed that the type 2 human gene, AGTR2, also maps on the X chromosome, at band Xq22.
