Ednra Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables endothelin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to gonadotropin stimulus; circulatory system development; and neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; neural crest cell development; and regulation of D-glucose transmembrane transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; and genitourinary system. Used to study mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia and velocardiofacial syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension (multiple); lung disease; mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia; migraine; and obstructive sleep apnea. Orthologous to human EDNRA (endothelin receptor type A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ednra often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
