Bioactivity | Endothelin-2 (49-69), human (Endothelin-2 (human, canine)) is a 21-amino acid vasoactive peptide that binds to G-protein-linked transmembrane receptors, ET-RA and ET-RB. |
Invitro | At nanomolar concentrations, Endothelin-2 exhibits a strong and long-lasting vasoconstrictor activity characteristic of endothelin (EC50=0.52 nM)[1]. Endothelin-2 is a chemoattractant for macrophages and THP-1 monocytic cells, but not for freshly isolated monocytes. The chemotactic response to Endothelin-2 shows a typical bell-shaped response curve. Experiments with endothelin receptor antagonists shows that migration to Endothelin-2 is mediated via the ET-RB receptor. Endothelin-2 expression by tumors may modulate the behavior of macrophages such that activated cells accumulate in areas of hypoxia[2]. |
