Gene ID: 1907 | Gene type: protein coding

About EDN2

Cytogenetic location: 1p34.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:41,478,775-41,484,683 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 267 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in small intestine (RPKM 7.3), esophagus (RPKM 3.9) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the endothelin protein family of secretory vasoconstrictive Peptides. The preproprotein is processed to a short mature form which functions as a ligand for the endothelin receptors that initiate intracellular signaling events. This gene product is involved in a wide range of biological processes, such as hypertension and ovulation. Altered expression of this gene is implicated in tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
