Abstract excerpt
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are two hormones produced and secreted by the heart to control blood pressure, body fluid homeostasis and electrolyte balance. Each peptide binds to a common family of 3 receptors (GC-A, GC-B and C-receptor) with varying degrees of affinity. The proANP gene disrupted mouse model provides an excellent opportunity to examine the regulation and...
