Fibronectin Conformation and Assembly: Analysis of Fibronectin Deletion Mutants and Fibronectin Glomerulopathy (GFND) Mutants.

abstract：:Big ET-1 and big ET-3 are precursor peptides which render endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin-3 (ET-3) relatively unreactive and resistant to proteolytic cleavage. Big ET-1 is cleaved in vivo by ECE-1 (endothelin-converting enzyme), and big ET-3 is also cleaved but apparently to a significantly lesser extent by this en...
