The ETA receptor is an Endothelin Receptor that mediates the effects of endothelin-1, a mitogen with potent contractile properties. In the human fetal olfactory epithelium cell line FNC-B4, the ETA receptor increases the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Increased ETA concentration may be correlated with smooth muscle hypertrophy observed in patients suffering from bladder-outlet obstruction. ETA receptor has been reported in a variety of tissues including placenta, uterus, testis, heart, adrenal gland, lung, kidney, ovary, skin, liver, bladder, large blood vessels, cerebellum, neurons, and meningioma tumor cells. A splice variant has been identified in melanoma Zhang et al. , 1998). ESTs have been isolated from libraries from the above-mentioned tissues.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
