Identification of the receptor subtype responsible for endothelin-mediated protein kinase C activation and atrial natriuretic factor secretion from atrial myocytes.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent stimulator of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) secretion from myocardial cells. In heart tissue there are two ET receptor subtypes (ETA-R and ETB-R), which can be pharmacologically distinguished by the ET isopeptides …
