NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the endothelin protein family of secretory vasoconstrictive peptides. The preproprotein is processed to a short mature form which functions as a ligand for the endothelin receptors that initiate intracellular signaling events. This gene product is involved in a wide range of biological processes, such as hypertension and ovulation. Altered expression of this gene is implicated in tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

Product Notes
The Mouse Edn2 edn2 (Catalog #AAA765709) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA765709 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse Edn2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Endothelin-2, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
