Other Information

**Key Characteristics** 1. **Expression Pattern**: ECE1 is predominantly expressed in endothelial cells, but also found in cortical cells of the adrenal gland, lung endothelial cells, vascular leptomeningeal cells, and other cell types. 2. **Function**: ECE1 converts big endothelin-1 to endothelin-1, the biologically active form of endothelin, which plays a crucial role in regulating vascular tone and blood pressure. 3. **Metalloendopeptidase Activity**: ECE1 exhibits metalloendopeptidase activity, allowing it to cleave and activate peptides, including endothelins. 4. **Signaling Pathways**: ECE1 is involved in multiple signaling pathways, including those regulating vascular development, axon guidance, hormone regulation, and blood pressure. **Pathways and Functions** ECE1's involvement in various signaling pathways highlights its multifaceted role in maintaining physiological balance: 1. **Regulation of Vascular Tone**: ECE1 converts big endothelin-1 to endothelin-1, the biologically active form of endothelin, which regulates vascular tone and blood pressure. 2. **Axon Guidance**: ECE1 is involved in semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway, which regulates axon guidance and neuronal development. 3. **Hormone Regulation**: ECE1 processes peptide hormones, such as substance P, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes. 4. **Developmental Processes**: ECE1 is involved in embryonic heart tube development, ear development, and pharyngeal system development, highlighting its importance in embryonic development. 5. **Blood Pressure Regulation**: ECE1's expression in endothelial cells and its role in regulating endothelin-1 levels make it a key player in maintaining systemic arterial blood pressure. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of ECE1 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Hypertension**: ECE1's role in regulating endothelin-1 levels makes it a potential target for the treatment of hypertension. 2. **Cardiovascular Diseases**: ECE1's involvement in vascular development and maintenance highlights its potential role in cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and heart failure. 3. **Neurological Disorders**: ECE1's role in axon guidance and neuronal development suggests its potential involvement in neurological disorders, such as stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. 4. **Cancer**: ECE1's expression in various cell types and its role in processing peptide hormones make it a potential target for cancer therapy. In conclusion, ECE1 is a critical gene involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes. Its role in regulating endothelin-1 levels, processing peptide hormones, and participating in signaling pathways underscores its importance in maintaining vascular homeostasis and overall physiological balance. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the functions and clinical significance of ECE1.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
