Endothelin stimulates both cAMP formation and phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis in cultured embryonic bovine tracheal cells

FEBS Lett. 1992 Mar 9;299(2):187-91. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(92)80244-b.

Abstract

Embryonic bovine tracheal (EBTr) cells were found to possess receptors for endothelin (ET) of ET-1-selective (ETA) subtype with a Kd for ET-1 of 114 pM and a Bmax of 12.9 fmol/10(5) cells. Stimulation of EBTr cells with 100 pM to 100 nM ET-1 increased the contents of both inositol phosphates and cAMP in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that the receptors are coupled to both phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis and cAMP formation in EBTr cells.
