Endothelin receptor type B, (ET-B) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EDNRB gene.[5]

Function

Endothelin receptor type B is a G protein-coupled receptor which activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its ligand, endothelin, consists of a family of three potent vasoactive peptides: ET1, ET2, and ET3. A splice variant, named SVR, has been described; the sequence of the ETB-SVR receptor is identical to ETRB except for the intracellular C-terminal domain. While both splice variants bind ET1, they exhibit different responses upon binding which suggests that they may be functionally distinct.[6]

Regulation

In melanocytic cells the EDNRB gene is regulated by the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor. Mutations in either gene are links to Waardenburg syndrome.[7][8]

Clinical significance

The multigenic disorder,

Hirschsprung disease type 2, is due to mutation in endothelin receptor type B gene.[9]

Animals

In

heterozygous state, produces an identifiable and completely benign spotted coat color called frame overo.[11]
