Abstract:
A cDNA encoding human endothelin 3 (ET‐3) precursor was cloned from a cDNA library from the placenta, and its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were determined. This ET‐3 cDNA was found to contain 2.3 kb pairs and encode prepro‐ET‐3 protein consisting of 224 amino acid residues. The putative big‐ET‐3 seems to consist of 42 amino acid residues. Two of the intron insertion sites were determined with information from nucleotide sequences of the cloned genomic ET‐3 gene. This is the first direct evidence that the ET‐3 gene is transcribed and expressed in the placenta.
