Endothelin consists of a family of potent vasoconstrictor peptides, which include four structurally related isoforms, ET-1, ET-2, ET-3 and vasointestinal contractor (VIC, β -ET)
Specificity
The antibody shows little cross-reactivity to related peptides and no known cross-reactivity to non-related peptides.
Immunogen
endothelin-1 (ET-1) conjugated to KLH
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Endothelin-1 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry.It is also suitable for radioimmunoassay (RIA) at a working dilution of 1:25,000 and for immunohistochemistry at 1:250 working dilution using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
Biochem/physiol Actions
ET-1, a 21 amino acid peptide, is produced by vascular endothelial cells. It is a potent vasoconstrictor and plays an important role in the homeostasis of the circulatory system. It is also important in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. It is also involved in contraction of airway and intestinal smooth muscle. It releases vasodilator prostaglandins and nitric oxide (NO). It also plays a role in mitogenic effects on vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, stimulation of atrial natriuretic peptide secretion from atrial cardiocytes and inhibition of renin release. ET-1 is expressed in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia, where it may serve as a neurotransmitter/neuromodulator.

Utero-placental (Ut-Pl) angiogenesis and blood flow are fundamental for successful outcome of pregnancy. They are controlled by numerous vasodilator and vasoconstrictor systems such as endothelins (EDNs) and the renin angiotensin system. Dogs possess an invasive type of placentation, classified as

Endothelin releases prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 from guinea pig or rat isolated lungs and endothelium-derived relaxing factor in the perfused mesentery of the rat. Endothelin is also substantially removed by the pulmonary circulation of the rat in vitro and in

The effect of endothelin on renin release from isolated rat glomeruli was examined. Endothelin inhibited basal renin release in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 1.0 x 10(-9) M. Endothelin also inhibited renin release stimulated by isoproterenol (10(-5) M).

Using cultured neonatal rat atrial cardiocytes, we have studied the effect of synthetic porcine endothelin (pET), a novel potent vasoconstrictor isolated from endothelial cells, on the release of immunoreactive (IR) rat atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP). pET stimulated IR-rANP secretion in
