Endothelin 2
| View/Edit Human | View/Edit Mouse |
Endothelin 2, also known as ET-2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EDN2 gene.[3]
Function
Endothelin 2 is a member of the endothelin protein family of secretory vasoconstrictive peptides. The preproprotein is processed to a short mature form which functions as a ligand for the endothelin receptors that initiate intracellular signaling events. This gene product is involved in a wide range of biological processes, such as hypertension and ovulation.[3]
