Mismeasure of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2008
It has been difficult to establish an endocrine role for C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). Release of CNP from the heart remains to be convincingly demonstrated (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), and data concerning CNP in cardiac disease have been conflicting, possibly because of specificity problems in measurement of CNP.

C-Type Natriuretic Peptides in Coronary Disease [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2017
Abstract AIMS C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a paracrine growth factor expressed in the vascular endothelium. Although upregulated in atheromatous arteries, the predictive value of plasma CNP products for outcome in coronary disease is unknown.

Natriuretic peptide B receptor and C-type natriuretic peptide in the rat kidney. [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1995
Natriuretic peptide receptor B (ANP-RGC(B)) has been previously identified in the kidney. It binds C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) with high affinity and the two other natriuretic peptides (atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide) with low affinity, and mediates the biological effects of CNP.

C-type natriuretic peptide and vascular remodeling

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2001
Morishige et al. [(1)][1]have reported local adenovirus-mediated transfer of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) to porcine coronary arteries, resulting in reduced stenosis of balloon-injured segments. This is an exciting development with obvious therapeutic potential.

Regulation of C-type natriuretic peptide expression

Peptides, 2011
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a member of the small family of natriuretic peptides that also includes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain, or B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Unlike them, it performs its major functions in an autocrine or paracrine manner.

C-type natriuretic peptide: A new cardiac mediator [PDF]

Peptides, 2013
Natriuretic peptides are endogenous hormones released by the heart in response to myocardial stretch and overload. While atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP) were immediately considered cardiac hormones and their role was well-characterized and defined in predicting risk in cardiovascular disease, evidence indicating the role of C-type ...

Measurement of Pro-C-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Plasma [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2005
Accurate measurement of peptides derived from pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (proCNP) in human plasma has been difficult for several reasons. Low plasma concentrations necessitate high assay sensitivity. In addition, sufficient specificity can be difficult because of the close sequence homology of CNP with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type ...

The Effects of C-type Natriuretic Peptide on Craniofacial Skeletogenesis [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, 2012
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a potent stimulator of long bone and vertebral development via endochondral ossification. In the present study, we investigated the effects of CNP on craniofacial skeletogenesis, which consists of both endochondral and membranous ossification.

Much less is known about C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) which was first isolated from porcine brain in 1990. It is now known that CNP has a
