Heterozygous Mutations in Natriuretic Peptide Receptor-B (NPR2) Gene as a Cause of Short Stature [PDF]
Based on the observation of reduced stature in relatives of patients with acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type (AMDM), caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in natriuretic peptide receptor-B gene (NPR2), it has been suggested that heterozygous mutations in this gene could be responsible for the growth impairment observed in some ...

Molecular Mechanism of Blood Pressure Regulation through the Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
Natriuretic peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), have cardioprotective effects and regulate blood pressure in mammals.

Method for High Accuracy Multiplicity Correlation Measurements
Multiplicity correlation measurements provide insight into the dynamics of high energy collisions. Models describing these collisions need these correlation measurements to tune the strengths of the underlying QCD processes which influence all ...

Reactive Palladium Carbenes: Migratory Insertion and Other Carbene-Hydrocarbyl Coupling Reactions on Well-Defined Systems [PDF]
Producción CientíficaPalladium complexes with carbene ligands are among the best known and more extensively used catalysts. Those carbenes are usually NHC or N,N-disubstituted derivatives and their use relies on the robust nature of the carbene ligands ...

Retinal degeneration protein 3 controls membrane guanylate cyclase activities in brain tissue
The retinal degeneration protein RD3 is involved in regulatory processes of photoreceptor cells. Among its main functions is the inhibition of photoreceptor specific membrane guanylate cyclases during trafficking from the inner segment to their final ...

Effect of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on Maturation and Developmental Competence of Goat Oocytes Matured In Vitro. [PDF]
The developmental competence of oocytes during in vitro maturation (IVM) is compromised due to asynchronous nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation. To improve IVM efficiency, a pre-maturation culture or two-step maturation strategy has been established ...

Phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitors boost bone outgrowth
Background and Purpose C‐type natriuretic peptide (CNP) stimulates skeletal growth by acting on the growth plates of long bones, and a CNP variant is clinically used for achondroplasia treatment. We previously reported that CNP stimulates the autonomic Ca2+ influx mediated by TRPM7 channels in growth plate chondrocytes to facilitate extracellular ...

Relevance. Acromezomelic dysplasia Maroteaux type (AMDM) is a rare variant of autosomal recessive skeletal disorder. The disease is caused by mutations in the NPR2 gene, coding the protein product which is one of the main regulators of endochondral ...

Phosphatases modified by LH signaling in ovarian follicles: testing their role in regulating the NPR2 guanylyl cyclase†. [PDF]
Abstract In response to luteinizing hormone (LH), multiple proteins in rat and mouse granulosa cells are rapidly dephosphorylated, but the responsible phosphatases remain to be identified. Because the phosphorylation state of phosphatases can regulate their interaction with substrates, we searched for phosphatases that might function in ...
