The endothelin system in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a peptide produced primarily by vascular endothelial cells, was discovered in 1980 and it was characterized as a powerful vasoconstrictor and mitogen for smooth muscle. ET-1 binds to two types of receptors, ETA and ETB: ETA-receptors are found in smooth muscle cells, whereas ETB-receptors are localized on both endothelial cells and
