The human PT expresses ACE at the apical surface of RPTEC in order to convert angiotensin I to angiotensin II (Schulz et al., 1988; Ichihara et al., 2004), which then plays a critical role in regulating sodium transport to influence hypertension through feedback onto the renal microvasculature and glomerulus (Kobori et al., 2007). This evidence concerns the gene AGT and hypertensive disorder.
