Sarafotoxin, a novel vasoconstrictor peptide: phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat heart and brain.

Science 242 , 268, (1988)

Sarafotoxins, a group of 21-residue cardiotoxic peptides from snake venom that induce coronary vasoconstriction, show high-affinity binding to rat atrial and brain membranes and activate the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides. Neither their binding nor their act...

Sarafotoxins S6: several isotoxins from Atractaspis engaddensis (burrowing asp) venom that affect the heart.

Toxicon 26 , 543, (1988)

Three isotoxins, named sarafotoxins S6a1, S6b and S6c, with strong cardiotoxic activity were isolated from the venom of a snake, Atractaspis engaddensis. All three sarafotoxins are homologous peptides (four or less than four residue replacements) consisting o...

Role of the endothelin axis and its antagonists in the treatment of cancer.

Br. J. Pharmacol. 163 , 220-233, (2011)

The endothelins (ET) are a group of proteins that act through G-protein coupled receptors. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) was initially identified as a potent vasoconstrictor and dysregulation of the ET axis contributes to pathological processes responsible for cardiova...

LPS fromPorphyromonas gingivalisincreases the sensitivity of contractile response mediated by endothelin-B (ETB) receptors in cultured endothelium-intact rat coronary arteries

Vascul. Pharmacol. 53 , 250-257, (2010)

The purpose of our study was to examine if lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P.g.) modifies the vasomotor responses to Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and Sarafotoxin 6c (S6c) in rat coronary arteries. The arteries were studied directly or followin...

Functional and molecular characterization of the endothelin system in retinal arterioles.

Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 50 , 3329-3336, (2009)

Activation of the endothelin (ET) system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of retinal ischemic disease. Although ET-1, the predominant endogenous isoform of ET, has been shown to cause constriction of retinal vessels, the expression and functional signi...

Endothelin ET(B) receptors in arteries and veins: multiple actions in the vein.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 329 , 875-881, (2009)

Endothelin receptors (ET(A) and ET(B)) mediate responses to ET-1. ET(B) receptor function seems to differ between a similarly sized arterial and venous pair, the rat vena cava (RVC) and rat thoracic aorta (RA). ET(B) receptors mediate RVC contraction directly...
