We isolated several complementary DNA (cDNA) clones encoding a non-isopeptide-selective human endothelin receptor (ETBR) from a human placenta cDNA library. The clones, different in the length of their 3'-untranslated regions, encoded the same 442-amino acid protein with a transmembrane topology similar to that of other G protein-coupled receptors. The rank order of the binding of ET isopeptides (ET-1, ET-2 and ET-3) to the receptor expressed in COS-7 cells was ET-1 = ET-2 = ET-3. Northern blot analysis identified three mRNA species, 4.3 kb, 2.7 kb and 1.7 kb in size, probably generated by their use of alternative polyadenylation sites. These mRNAs were expressed in a wide variety of human tissues, at the highest level in the brain and at a significant level in cultured endothelial cells.
