| Full name | | endothelin 2 |
| Aliases | | ,ET2,PPET2, |
| Gene summary | | This gene encodes a member of the endothelin protein family of secretory vasoconstrictive peptides. The preproprotein is processed to a short mature form which functions as a ligand for the endothelin receptors that initiate intracellular signaling events. This gene product is involved in a wide range of biological processes, such as hypertension and ovulation. [provided by RefSeq] |
