Physiological and Pathophysiological Effects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Heart [PDF]
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the third member of the natriuretic peptide family. Unlike other members, i.e., atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which are cardiac hormones secreted from the atrium and ventricle of

C-type natriuretic peptide moderates titin-based cardiomyocyte stiffness [PDF]
Heart failure is often accompanied by titin-dependent myocardial stiffness. Phosphorylation of titin by cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (PKGI) increases cardiomyocyte distensibility.

C-Type Natriuretic Peptide Regulates the Expression and Secretion of Antibacterial Peptide S100A7 in Goat Mammary Gland Through PKG/JNK/c-Jun Signaling Pathway [PDF]
During infection, the infected tissue secretes a variety of endogenous peptides to resist further invasion of pathogens. Among these endogenous peptides, the natriuretic peptides and the antimicrobial peptides attracted the most attention.

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) in the paraventricular nucleus-mediated renal sympatho-inhibition [PDF]
Volume reflex produces sympatho-inhibition that is mediated by the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). However, the mechanisms for the sympatho-inhibitory role of the PVN and the neurochemical factors involved remain to be identified.
