Endothelin1 (EDN1) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

The protein encoded by this gene is proteolytically processed to release a secreted peptide termed endothelin 1. This peptide is a potent vasoconstrictor and is produced by vascular endothelial cells. Endothelin 1 also can affect the central nervous system. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]

EDN1: Endothelins are endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor peptides. Belongs to the endothelin/sarafotoxin family.
