Roles of Natriuretic Peptides and the Significance of Neprilysin in Cardiovascular Diseases [PDF]
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.
