Bioactivity | Big Endothelin-1 (1-39), porcine is the precursor of endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasopressor peptide. Big Endothelin-1 (1-39), porcine has similar pressor effects in vivo[1]. |
Invitro | Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent, endothelial cell-derived, 21-amino acid peptide that has potent vasoconstricting properties and may participate in the regulation of blood pressure and regional blood flow[1]. |
In Vivo | Big Endothelin-1 (1-39), porcine, the cDNA deduced putative precursor of ET-1, has been reported to have similar pressor effects in vivo[1]. |
