Product overview

Name Endothelin 2 (human)
Biological description

Overview

Endothelin 2 is an endogenous neuropeptide which has the same affinity as endothelin 1 (ET-1) for both the ETA and ETB receptors.

It tightly binds to smooth muscle ETA receptors to causes potent, long-lasting vasoconstriction.

Uses & applications

It has been shown to have a key role in ovarian physiology and has also been implicated in immunology, cancer and the cardiovascular system.

Alternative names ET-2, Edn2, VIC
Purity >95%
Description Vasoconstrictive neuropeptide.
