Entrez gene ID | | 1906 |
Official gene symbol | | EDN1 |
Full name | | endothelin 1 |
Aliases | | ,ET1,HDLCQ7,PPET1, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is proteolytically processed to release a secreted peptide termed endothelin 1. This peptide is a potent vasoconstrictor and is produced by vascular endothelial cells. Endothelin 1 also can affect the central nervous system. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq] |
