The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor which activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its ligand, endothelin, consists of a family of three potent vasoactive peptides: ET1, ET2, and ET3. While both isoforms bind ET1, they exhibit different responses upon binding, suggesting that they may be functionally distinct. The interaction of this endothelin with EDNRB is essential for development of neural crest-derived cell lineages, such as melanocytes and enteric neurons.

38 phenotypic alleles of Ednrb are described in MGI:102720.
SNPs deposited in dbSNP Build 128.
Among the 38 reported alleles, 3 are spontaneous, 2 are targeted knock-outs, 10 are ENU-induced. 
 
(Numbering of cDNA sequence is based on the start codon of RefSeq NM_007904. view ORF here.) 
Null mutations in the mouse genes Ednrb affect the pathway in the normal development of melanocytes and other neural crest-derived lineages.
Homozygotes for null mutations have pigmentation limited to small patches on the head and rump, exhibit abnormal neural epithelium of the inner ear, and die from megacolon resulting from impaired neuronal migration and aganglia.
Phenotype analysis of Sox10;Ednrb and Sox10;Edn3 double mutants showed that a coordinate and balanced interaction between these molecules is required for normal enteric nervous system (ENS) and melanocyte development. Double mutants present with a severe increase in white spotting, absence of melanocytes within the inner ear, and in the stria vascularis in particular, and more severe ENS defects (Stanchina, et al.).
