Endothelin-1 mRNA is widely expressed in porcine and human tissues.
1 May 1990
Abstract excerpt
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide isolated from porcine endothelial cells. We have previously demonstrated widespread binding sites for ET-1 in blood vessels, heart, kidney, adrenal, lung, and brain in a distribution that paralleled that of endothelial cells. To determine whether these cells are capable of synthesizing ET-1 in close proximity to its binding sites, amplification of cDNA using...
