Gene information for EDN2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1907
Official gene symbolEDN2
Full nameendothelin 2
Aliases,ET2,PPET2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes 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. [provided by RefSeq]
