FUNCTION

Ontology

(1) Biological process: neural crest cell migration, signal transduction, smooth muscle contraction, sensory perception of sound.
(2) Regulation of blood pressure.
(3) G-protein coupled receptor activity, rhodopsin-like.
(4) Inositol phosphate-mediated signaling.
(5) Melanocyte differentiation.

Location

Plasma membrane.

Interaction

The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor which activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its ligand, endothelin, consists of a family of three potent vasoactive peptides: ET1, ET2, and ET3. While both isoforms bind ET1, they exhibit different responses upon binding, suggesting that they may be functionally distinct. The interaction of this endothelin with EDNRB is essential for development of neural crest-derived cell lineages, such as melanocytes and enteric neurons.

Distribution

Except the mutations deposited in HGMD, other novel mutations of EDNRB are liste here.

(1) One novel missense mutation, V111Q, was detected in Thai Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) (Sangkhathat, et al (2006)).

(2) One novel missense mutation, V185M, was found in Chinese Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) (Zhou, et al (2006)) and another heterozygous novel missense mutation (C90R) was found in a Taiwanese HSCR patient (Chen, et al (2006)) .

Note that the numbering of the mutations in HGMD is based on EDNRB cDNA (NM_000115), view ORF here.

Effect






PHENOTYPE

Mutations in this gene and EDNRB have been associated with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) and Waardenburg syndrome (WS), which are congenital disorders involving neural crest-derived cells.

Defects in EDNRB are a cause of Waardenburg syndrome type IV (WS4) [MIM:277580]; also known as Waardenburg-Shah syndrome. WS4 is characterized by the association of Waardenburg features (depigmentation and deafness) and the absence of enteric ganglia in the distal part of the intestine (Hirschsprung disease).

Defects in EDNRB are the cause of Hirschsprung disease type 2 (HSCR2) [MIM:600155]; also known as aganglionic megacolon (MGC). It is a congenital disorder characterized by absence of enteric ganglia along a variable length of the intestine. It is the most common cause of congenital intestinal obstruction. Early symptoms range from complete acute neonatal obstruction, characterized by vomiting, abdominal distention and failure to pass stool, to chronic constipation in the older child.

Defects in EDNRB are the cause of ABCD syndrome [MIM:600501]. ABCD syndrome is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by albinism, black lock at temporal occipital region, bilateral deafness, aganglionosis of the large intestine and total absence of neurocytes and nerve fibers in the small intestine.

EDNRB has been reported in association with atherosclerosis, Hirschsprung disease, migraine.
