Q
  1. What receptor results in vasoconstriction, bronchoconstriction, and increased aldosterone secretion when endothelin-1 binds to it
A

a. Eta

Typically we know endothelins as vasocontrictiors, along with angiotensin II

ETa- is the receptor type that always “constrictions”

ETb- is the receptor that does vasodialtion, and inhibition of platelet aggregation
