• homozygotes exhibit normalized blood pressure (SBP, DBP and MAP) relative to mice homozygous for the Vgftm1Vlcg allele, indicating rescue of the hypertensive knockout phenotype
• notably, homozygotes exhibit a small but significant decrease in SBP relative to to mice homozygous for the Vgftm2(VGF*)Srjs allele which lack several VGF-derived C-terminal peptides, including TLQP-21
