Fate mapping and genetic manipulation are important tools to study the identity of renin cells. Here, we report on a novel Cre mouse model, Akr1b7 CreERT2 , for the spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression in renin cells. Cre is properly expressed in renin cells during development and in the adult under basal conditions and under physiological stress. Moreover, renin can be efficiently deleted in the adult, leading to the development of concentric vascular hypertrophy.
