Endothelin Receptors and Pain [PDF]
The endogenous endothelin (ET) peptides participate in a remarkable variety of pain-relatedprocesses. Pain that is elevated by inflammation, by skin incision, by cancer, during a Sickle Cell Disease crisis and by treatments that mimic neuropathic and inflammatory pain and are all reduced by local administration of antagonists of endothelin receptors ...

Endocan, ET-1, and ETAR Expression Profiles in Unicystic Ameloblastoma, Multicystic Ameloblastoma, and Ameloblastic Carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Odontogenic lesions range from simple cysts to benign tumors and carcinomas. Unicystic ameloblastoma is a monocystic lesion and a less aggressive tumor compared to multicystic ameloblastoma.

Endothelin‐receptor interactions [PDF]
The mechanism of action of endothelin‐receptor interactions was studied, using radioligand binding assays and SDS‐PAGE, to investigate the possibility of disulfide interchange. Electrophoretic analysis suggested involvement of disulfide bond(s) in the receptor‐ligand complex.

Immunohistochemical Eexpression of Endothelin A Receptor in Dysplastic Oral Mucosa [PDF]
Background: Recent researches have provided evidences of the importance of endothelin axis in carcinogenesis. According to our knowledge, no data exists about endothelin A receptor (ETA) expression in dysplastic oral mucosa (DOM).

Genetic interactions between neurofibromin and endothelin receptor B in mice. [PDF]
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.

Affinity labelling of endothelin receptor and characterization of solubilized endothelin–endothelin‐receptor complex [PDF]
Chick cardiac membranes were affinity labelled by cross‐linking to membrane‐bound 125I‐endothelin‐1 with disuccinimidyl tartarate. SDS/PAGE and autoradiographic analysis of the 125I‐endothelin‐1‐labelled material in the presence or absence of 2‐mercaptoethanol revealed one major labelled band, corresponding to a molecular mass of 53 kDa, whose ...

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]
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
