背景信息:
Natriuretic peptides comprise a family of 3 structurally related molecules: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP; MIM 108780), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP; MIM 600295), 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.
