Summary: (from NCBI-Entrez) ..[read more]The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor which activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its ligand, endothelin, consists of a family of three potent vasoactive peptides: ET1, ET2, and ET3. Studies suggest t
Baynash AG, et al. (Cell, 1994)found that EDN3 interacts with endothelin-B receptor, which is essential in the development of neural crest-derived cell lineages.
