Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - It is a cell surface receptor that is expressed in high levels in the heart and blood vessels. - It is a member of the endothelin family of cell surface receptors, which are involved in the regulation of vascular tone and blood flow. - It is a key regulator of systemic arterial blood pressure. - It is involved in the regulation of cardiac contractility and heart rate. - It is also involved in the regulation of inflammation and blood vessel remodeling. **Pathways and functions:** - EDN2 is a ligand for the G alpha (q) signaling pathway. - It is also a ligand for the GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor) pathway. - It is involved in the regulation of blood pressure by binding to the GPCRs on blood vessel smooth muscle cells. - It also plays a role in the regulation of inflammation by binding to the GPCRs on immune cells. **Clinical significance:** Mutations in the EDN2 gene have been linked to a number of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, heart failure, and stroke. These mutations can lead to the development of these diseases by disrupting the normal function of EDN2.
