6IGK, 6IGL - PubMed Abstract: 
Endothelin receptors (ET A and ET B ) are class A GPCRs activated by vasoactive peptide endothelins, and are involved in blood pressure regulation. ET B -selective signalling induces vasorelaxation, and thus selective ET B agonists are expected to be utilized for improved anti-tumour drug delivery and neuroprotection ...
