The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the
endothelin family. Endothelins are endothelium-derived vasoactive
peptides involved in a variety of biological functions. The active
form of this protein is a 21 amino acid peptide processed from the
precursor protein. The active peptide is a ligand for endothelin
receptor type B (EDNRB). The interaction of this endothelin with
EDNRB is essential for development of neural crest-derived cell
lineages, such as melanocytes and enteric neurons. Mutations in
this gene and EDNRB have been associated with Hirschsprung disease
(HSCR) and Waardenburg syndrome (WS), which are congenital
disorders involving neural crest-derived cells. Four alternatively
spliced transcript variants encoding three distinct isoforms have
been observed.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
