Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human endothelin 1 (ET-1) concentrations in serum, cell culture supernates, urine, saliva.
Target Information: 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, Nov 2009]
