Clarifying endothelin type B receptor function [PDF]
Hypertension, 2006 Endothelin (ET) receptors have become the targets for the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular disorders and a mixed ET type A (ETA)/ET type B (ETB) receptor antagonist, bosentan, is currently being used to effectively treat pulmonary hypertension.

DNA methylation of the endothelin receptor B makes blue fish yellow [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAnimal pigmentation is essential for concealment and communication in nature. Though selection acts on the phenotypes of an organism, these traits are often resolved to genes that shape pigmentation in populations.

Genetic interactions between neurofibromin and endothelin receptor B in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 When mutations in two different genes produce the same mutant phenotype, it suggests that the encoded proteins either interact with each other, or act in parallel to fulfill a similar purpose.

Endothelin B receptor-mediated vasoconstriction induced by endothelin A receptor antagonist [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 1998 The vasoconstrictor effect of endothelins (ET) is mediated by endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) receptors. Furthermore, ETB receptor stimulation results in release of vasodilators. Hence, ETA receptor antagonists should attenuate ET-mediated vasoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effects of BQ-123, an ETA

Endothelin B Receptors on Primary Chicken Müller Cells and the Human MIO-M1 Müller Cell Line Activate ERK Signaling via Transactivation of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Injury to the eye or retina triggers Müller cells, the major glia cell of the retina, to dedifferentiate and proliferate. In some species they attain retinal progenitor properties and have the capacity to generate new neurons. The epidermal growth factor

EndothelinA-endothelinB receptor cross-talk and endothelin receptor binding [PDF]
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2011 AbstractBackground and objectiveThe magnitude of inhibition of an endothelin (ET)-1 response by selective blockade of the ETA or ETB receptors can be limited by apparent compensation mediated by the unblocked receptor. While the mechanism underlying this functionally defined interaction, or ‘cross-talk’, is not clear, binding studies suggest an ...

Evidence for G‐Protein–Coupled Estrogen Receptor as a Pronatriuretic Factor
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background The novel estrogen receptor, G‐protein–coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), is responsible for rapid estrogen signaling. GPER activation elicits cardiovascular and nephroprotective effects against salt‐induced complications, yet there is no ...
