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.

Molecular Mechanism of Blood Pressure Regulation through the Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
Biology, 2022 Natriuretic peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), have cardioprotective effects and regulate blood pressure in mammals.

AC-NP: a novel chimeric peptide with natriuretic and vasorelaxing actions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular and renal activities of a newly designed natriuretic peptide (NP). Here, we engineered a novel 28-amino acid chimeric peptide, termed AC-NP that combined the 17-amino acid ring of C type ...

Roles of Natriuretic Peptides and the Significance of Neprilysin in Cardiovascular Diseases
Biology, 2022 Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) activate the guanylyl cyclase A receptor (GC-A), which synthesizes the second messenger cGMP in a wide variety of tissues and cells.

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 peptides: Diagnostic and therapeutic use
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2011 Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones which are mainly secreted from heart and have important natriuretic and kaliuretic properties. There are four different groups NPs identified till date [atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (
