Gene information for EDNRA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1909
Official gene symbolEDNRA
Full nameendothelin receptor type A
Aliases,ETA,ETAR,ETRA,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the receptor for endothelin-1, a peptide that plays a role in potent and long-lasting vasoconstriction. This receptor associates with guanine-nucleotide-binding (G) proteins, and this coupling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Polymorphisms in this gene have been linked to migraine headache resistance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
