Rabbit Polyclonal to Human Endothelin A ReceptorThe ETA receptor is an Endothelin Receptor that mediates the effects of endothelin-1, a mitogen with potent contractile properties. In the human fetal olfactory epithelium cell line FNC-B4, the ETA receptor increases the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Increased ETA concentration may be correlated with smooth muscle hypertrophy observed in patients suffering from bladder-outlet obstruction. ETA receptor has been reported in a variety of tissues including placenta, uterus, testis, heart, adrenal gland, lung, kidney, ovary, skin, liver, bladder, large blood vessels, cerebellum, neurons, and meningioma tumor cells. A splice variant has been identified in melanoma (Zhang et al., 1998). ESTs have been isolated from libraries from the above-mentioned tissues. |
