Description
Product Description
Endothelin-1 is a 21-amino-acid peptide originally discovered in endothelial cells and recognized as one of the most powerful endogenous vasoconstrictors identified in mammalian systems. The amino acid sequence of Endothelin-1 is identical in swine and humans, allowing consistent application across comparative experimental models.
In biological systems, plays a central role in the regulation of vascular tone, smooth muscle contraction, and endothelial cell function. Its activity is mediated through interaction with endothelin receptor subtypes ETA and ETB, which are widely expressed in cardiovascular and renal tissues. Because of its strong receptor affinity and sustained signaling properties, is frequently used as a reference peptide in receptor activation and signal transduction assays.
This product is supplied as a trifluoroacetate (TFA) salt, a commonly adopted form that supports the stability and reproducibility of Endothelin-1 in controlled laboratory environments.
