C-type natriuretic peptide system in rabbit colon
Peptides, 2001C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is mainly distributed in the brain and vascular endothelium and is considered to act as a local regulator in many tissues. The present study was aimed to determine the presence of CNP system and its biological function in rabbit colon.

C-type natriuretic peptide system in rabbit oviduct
Peptides, 2001C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), a third member of the natriuretic peptide family, is known to be distributed mainly in brain and vascular endothelium and is considered to act as a local regulator in many tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of CNP system and its biological function in rabbit oviduct.

C-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (CNP) IN RATS AND HUMANS
Endocrinology, 1991We have established a specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the third member of the natriuretic peptide family, and have elucidated its tissue distribution and molecular form. In rats, high concentrations of CNP-like immunoreactivity (-LI) were detected in the anterior lobe (19.8 +/- 8.6 pmol/g) and neurointermediate ...

C-type natriuretic peptide: the endothelial component of the natriuretic peptide system.
Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 1999C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a 22-amino-acid peptide, structurally related to but genetically distinct from atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Whereas ANP and BNP are ligands for a guanylyl cyclase-coupled receptor, the NPR-A receptor, CNP is a specific ligand for the NPR-B receptor. In addition to clearance by

Brain Natriuretic Peptide and C‐Type Natriuretic Peptide Maintain Porcine Oocyte Meiotic Arrest
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2014Recent studies have shown that C‐type natriuretic peptide (CNP) serves as a key control system during mouse oocyte maturation. We used pig models (in vitro and in vivo) to explore the role played by the natriuretic peptide family in porcine oocyte maturation.

C-type natriuretic peptide in growth: A new paradigm
Growth Hormone & IGF Research, 2006C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), acting through its receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B), plays a critical role in linear growth. Knockout mice for CNP and NPR-B are dwarfed, and transgenic mice overexpressing CNP are overgrown. CNP has a direct regulatory effect on growth plate chondrocytes, acting primarily to promote terminal ...

C-Type Natriuretic Peptide Analog as Therapy for Achondroplasia
2015Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is an important regulator of bone formation. Gain-of-function mutations in the FGFR3 gene result in chondrodysplasias which include achondroplasia (ACH), the most common form of dwarfism, in which skull, appendicular and axial skeletons are affected.
