title: Sequence and neuronal expression of mouse endothelin-1 cDNA.
abstract: We have isolated and sequenced a cDNA that encodes mouse endothelin-1 (ET-1). The putative protein contains 202 amino acids corresponds to the prepro-form of ET-1. Twenty-one amino acids sequence of the putative mature ET-1 was identical with that of rat, porcine, bovine, and human. In situ hybridization histochemistry indicate that ET-1 mRNA was expressed in several hypothalamic nuclei including the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in rodent brain.
