We previously identified a novel angiotensin II type 1 receptor-associated protein and demonstrated that it promotes receptor recycling to the plasma membrane. To delineate the pathophysiological function of the ARAP1 in the kidneys, we generated transgenic mice that overexpress rat ARAP1 cDNA specifically in proximal tubules and tested the hypothesis that proximal tubule-specific overexpression of ARAP1 causes hypertension. Two lines of male transgenic mice, 650 and 670, displayed kidney-specific transgene expression. Systolic blood pressure was significantly elevated by
