Physiological and Pathophysiological Effects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Heart
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
Heart failure is often accompanied by titin-dependent myocardial stiffness. Phosphorylation of titin by cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (PKGI) increases cardiomyocyte distensibility.

Role of C-type natriuretic peptide in the function of normal human sperm
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a newly discovered type of local regulatory factor that mediates its biological effects through the specific, membrane-bound natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B).

Molecular Mechanism of Induction of Bone Growth by the C-Type Natriuretic Peptide
The skeletal development process in the body occurs through sequential cellular and molecular processes called endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification occurs in the growth plate where chondrocytes differentiate from resting, proliferative ...
