Human Gene EDNRA (ENST00000324300.10) from GENCODE V44
Description: Receptor for endothelin-1. Mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system. The rank order of binding affinities for ET-A is: ET1 > ET2 >> ET3. (from UniProt P25101) RefSeq Summary (NM_001957): This gene encodes the receptor for endothelin-1, a peptide that plays a role in potent and long-lasting vasoconstriction. This receptor associates with guanine-nucleotide-binding (G) proteins, and this coupling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Polymorphisms in this gene have been linked to migraine headache resistance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000324300.10 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000151617.17 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr4:147,480,917-147,544,954 Size: 64,038 Total Exon Count: 8 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr4:147,485,682-147,542,618 Size: 56,937 Coding Exon Count: 7
ID:EDNRA_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Endothelin-1 receptor; AltName: Full=Endothelin A receptor; Short=ET-A; Short=ETA-R; Short=hET-AR; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Receptor for endothelin-1. Mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system. The rank order of binding affinities for ET-A is: ET1 > ET2 >> ET3. SUBUNIT: Interacts with HDAC7 and KAT5. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform 1, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed in a variety of tissues, with highest levels in the aorta and cerebellum, followed by lung, atrium and cerebral cortex, lower levels in the placenta, kidney, adrenal gland, duodenum, colon, ventricle and liver but no expression in umbilical vein endothelial cells. Within the placenta, isoform 1, isoform 2, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed in the villi and stem villi vessels. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Endothelin receptor subfamily. EDNRA sub-subfamily. WEB RESOURCE: Name=NIEHS-SNPs; URL="http://egp.gs.washington.edu/data/ednra/";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
