Big endothelin-1 (BET-1) (1-38) is a peptide precursor of endothelin-1 (Item No. 24127) produced by vascular smooth muscle and endothelium.{42221} BET-1 is converted to endothelin-1 by endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) and to endothelin-1 (1-31) by chymase.{42222} It is also converted to endothelin-1 (1-32) by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2).{42221} BET-1 (50 pmol) induces vasoconstriction in isolated rat mesenteric arteries, an effect that is blocked by the MMP-2 antagonist TIMP-2. In vivo, BET-1 (0.1-10 nmol/kg, i.v.) dose-dependently increases blood pressure and bradycardia and leads to renal and hindquarter vasoconstriction in rats as well as abdominal constriction in mice (ED50 = 0.043 mg/kg), effects that are reversed or prevented by the ECE inhibitor phosphoramidon (Item No. 15113).{42223,42224} It also induces mesenteric vasoconstriction in rats.{42223} Unlike endothelin-1, BET-1 (100 pmol/kg, i.v.) increases water and sodium excretion in rats independent of the endothelin A receptor.{42225}
