Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of the vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 by endothelial and epithelial cells is strongly induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). The actions of TNF-alpha are mediated by two transmembrane receptors of approximately 55 (p55, CD120a) and 75 kDa (p75, CD120b). Reagents activating selectively these receptor subtypes have been used to identify which TNF receptor mediates the induction of...
