Abstract
Endothelin (ET) peptides are surprisingly multifunctional. They control diverse physiological events such as vascular tone, cardiac, pulmonary, and renal function. Endothelins also direct phenotypic functions including cell growth, development, and differentiation. ET receptors control these events by evoking a complex, integrated network of signaling pathways. ET signaling has emerged as an important model for understanding how G protein-coupled receptors function in physiology and pathophysiology, particularly for those signals that regulate the genome.
