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.

The T2238C human atrial natriuretic peptide molecular variant and the risk of cardiovascular diseases [PDF]
, 2018 Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a cardiac hormone which plays important functions to maintain cardio-renal homeostasis. The peptide structure is highly conserved among species. However, a few gene variants are known to fall within the human ANP gene.

CNP, the Third Natriuretic Peptide: Its Biology and Significance to the Cardiovascular System
Biology, 2022 The natriuretic peptide family consists of three biologically active peptides: ANP, BNP, and CNP. CNP is more widely expressed than the other two peptides, with significant levels in the central nervous system, osteochondral system, and vascular system ...

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 (

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.
