Notes: Endothelin-3 is a peptide vasoconstricter and a ligand of the endothelin (ET) receptors ETA and ETB (Kbs = 1.05 and 1.49, respectively).{39489} It induces β-arrestin recruitment in CHO-K1 cells expressing human ETA and ETB (pD2s = 7.31 and 9.44, respectively). Endothelin-3 increases blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive rats when administered at doses of 310 and 955 pmol/kg, respectively.{39490} It also stimulates migration and adhesion of enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) to the embryonic gut in mice via interaction with ETB.{39491} Mutations in the endothelin-3 gene, Edn3, induce distal aganglionosis caused by failed colonization of ENCCs in the hindgut and lack of ENCC migration to the ileo-caecal junction in mice.
