S’il existe trois isoformes de l’endothéline (ET-1, ET-2, ET-3), la plupart des effets biologiques sont induits par l’ET-1. L’ET-1, un peptide de 21 acides aminés apparenté au principe actif d’un venin de reptiles (la sarafotoxine), est sécrété principalement par l’endothélium vasculaire vers les cellules musculaires lisses de la paroi vasculaire [...] D’autres cellules sont également capables de synthétiser l’ET-1, telles que les cellules musculaires lisses des vaisseaux, les cellules mésangiales glomérulaires et les cellules tubulaires du rein.
