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.

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 ...

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.

Regulation of Monospecies and Mixed Biofilms Formation of Skin Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes by Human Natriuretic Peptides

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes are common representatives of the human skin microbiome. However, when these bacteria are organized in biofilm, they could be involved in several skin disorders such as acne or psoriasis.

Foramen magnum stenosis and midface hypoplasia in C-type natriuretic peptide-deficient rats and restoration by the administration of human C-type natriuretic peptide with 53 amino acids.

PLoS ONE, 2019
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP)-knockout (KO) rats exhibit impaired skeletal growth, with long bones shorter than those in wild-type (WT) rats. This study compared craniofacial morphology in the CNP-KO rat with that in the Spontaneous Dwarf Rat (SDR), a

Novel mutations in natriuretic peptide receptor-2 gene underlie acromesomelic dysplasia, type maroteaux

BMC Medical Genetics, 2012
Background Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are peptide hormones that exert their biological actions by binding to three types of cell surface natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs).

GUANYLYL CYCLASE/NATRIURETIC PEPTIDES RECEPTOR-A SIGNALING ANTAGONIZES PHOSPHOINOSITIDE HYDROLYSIS, Ca2+ RELEASE, AND ACTIVATION OF PROTEIN KINASE C

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2014
Thus far, three related natriuretic peptides (NPs) and three distinct sub-types of cognate NP receptors have been identified and characterized based on the specific ligand binding affinities, guanylyl cyclase activity, and generation of intracellular ...
