Biochem/physiol Actions
Endothelin receptor type A (ETA, ETAR) is a human G protein-coupled receptor that mediates vasoconstriction of blood vessels. It is involved in tumor cell invasion, survival and metastasis. ETAR mediates the promotion of ET-1 on colon cancer cell survival, invasion and MMP-2 expression by a PI3K-mediated mechanism. It plays a critical role in colon cancer metastasis.
The epitope is highly conserved in human, swine, bovine and chicken ET-A.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a solution of phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.
