    motifs/domains
  • a preproendothelin giving proendothelin from the N terminus
  • a C terminal region containing an endothelin-like peptide
  • the preendothelin gives EDN3 (21AA with two SH bounds) after cleavage by endothelin conversion enzyme (ECE1) and/or KELL group protein (KEL)
  • prepro Vic cleaved to Big VIC including a VIC-like peptide, then releasing mature VIC (EDN3)
