genes for endothelin-1 (ET-1), endothelin-2 (ET-2), and endothelin-3 (ET-3) are located on chromosomes 6, 1, and 20, respectively. Endothelin functions...

Endothelin 2 (ET-2) is a protein encoded by the EDN2 gene in humans. It was first discovered in 1988 by Yanagisawa and team and belongs to a family of...

is proteolytically processed to release endothelin 1. Endothelin 1 is one of three isoforms of human endothelin. Preproendothelin is precursor of the peptide...

Endothelin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EDN3 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the endothelin family. Endothelins...

Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 is involved in the proteolytic processing of endothelin-1 (EDN1), -2 (EDN2), and -3 (EDN3) to biologically active peptides. GRCh38:...
