Rabbit Anti-Human CNP

NP_077720

Natriuretic peptides comprise a family of 3 structurally related molecules: atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), encoded by a gene symbolized NPPC. These peptides possess potent natriuretic, diuretic, and vasodilating activities and are implicated in body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure control. Natriuretic peptide precursor C homolog of mouse C type (CNP), most strongly expressed in the brain, also expressed in vascular endothelial cells and other tissues, present at extremely low level in circulation, potentially playing a paracrine/autocrine role.
