Endothelin 1 (ET-1), also known as preproendothelin-1 (PPET1), is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide produced by vascular endothelial cells,[5] as well as by cells in the heart (affecting contractility) and kidney (affecting sodium handling).[6] The protein encoded by this gene – EDN1 – is proteolytically processed to release endothelin 1. Endothelin 1 is one of three isoforms of human endothelin.

Sources

[edit]

Preproendothelin is precursor of the peptide ET-1. Endothelial cells convert preproendothelin to proendothelin and subsequently to mature endothelin, which the cells release.[5][7]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Patients with salt-sensitive hypertension have higher plasma ET-1.[6] Endothelin-1 receptor antagonists (Bosentan) are used in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.[5] Use of these antagonists prevents pulmonary arterial constriction and thus inhibits pulmonary hypertension.[5]

As of 2020, the role of endothelin-1 in affecting lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in obesity mechanisms was under clinical research.[8]
