Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Prohormone Gene Expression: Hormones and Diseases That Upregulate its Expression
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Atrial natriuretic peptides consist of a family of peptide hormones that are synthesized by three separate genes and then stored as three different prohormones (i.e., 126-amino acid [a.a.]) atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), 108-a.a. brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and 126-aa. C-natriuretic peptide (CNP) prohormones. The gene encoding for the synthesis of the atrial natriuretic peptide prohormone (proANP)...
