Physiological and Pathophysiological Effects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Heart

open access: yesBiology, 2022
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

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2020
Heart failure is often accompanied by titin-dependent myocardial stiffness. Phosphorylation of titin by cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (PKGI) increases cardiomyocyte distensibility.

Molecular Mechanism of Induction of Bone Growth by the C-Type Natriuretic Peptide

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
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 ...
