Summary
This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate a secreted peptide that belongs to the endothelin/sarafotoxin family. This peptide is a potent vasoconstrictor and its cognate receptors are therapeutic targets in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Aberrant expression of this gene may promote tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

GLCs from women with PCOS, Endothelin-1 mRNA expression was elevated (2.2-fold) as compared with normally ovulating women, whereas endothelin-2 mRNA was reduced (1.8-fold)

ET-1 levels were positively and strongly associated with AGEs in both PCOS women and controls, suggesting that the detrimental effect of AGEs on endothelial cells may involve increased ET-1 production
