Abstract excerpt
The endothelin/endothelin receptor system plays a critical role in the differentiation and terminal migration of particular neural crest cell subpopulations. Targeted deletion of the G-protein-coupled endothelin receptors ET(A) and ET(B) was shown to result in characteristic developmental defects of derivatives of cephalic and cardiac neural crest and of neural crest-derived melanocytes and enteric neurons,...
