Abstract excerpt
Human endothelin (ET) A receptor (hETAR) is a G-protein-mediated receptor that binds ET1 with high affinity and ET2 and ET3 with lower affinities. ET1 is the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor known at this time. When expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, hETAR is rapidly desensitized after stimulation with ET1. This desensitization lasts 90-110 min. Human neurokinin A (hNKAR) and human serotonin type 2...
