Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are (1) a DNA sequence containing a DNA segment coding for human endothelin-3, (2) a precursor protein and a mature peptide of human endothelin-3, (3) a transformant carrying a DNA sequence containing a DNA segment coding for human endothelin-3 and (4) a method for preparing mature endothelin-3 which comprises culturing the transformant described in (3), producing and accumulating a protein in a culture medium, and collecting the same. Cells transfected or transformed with the DNA allow large amounts of endothelin-3 to be produced, which causes the advantageous production of endothelin-3. Endothelin-3 can be utilized as hypotension therapeutic agents or local vasoconstrictors to animals including humans.
