Summary
This gene encodes the receptor for endothelin-1, a peptide that plays a role in potent and long-lasting vasoconstriction. This receptor associates with guanine-nucleotide-binding (G) proteins, and this coupling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Polymorphisms in this gene have been linked to migraine headache resistance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2, also known as ET-ARdelta3,4) lacks two alternate exons, resulting in the loss of an in-frame segment of the central coding region, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (b) is shorter than isoform a.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (4, also known as ET-ARdelta4) lacks an internal exon in the central region, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
