Big Endothelin-1 (22-38), human
Big Endothelin-1 (22-38), human is derived from human, is the 22-38 fragment of Big Endothelin-1 (ET-1) (1-38). Big ET-1 (1-38) is a propeptide of ET-1, which has potent and long-lasting vasoconstrictor effects, equips a specific enzymatic cleavage of the 38 amino acid chain to form ET-1 (1-21) and the C-terminal fragment Big ET-1 (22-38).
