Internalization and trafficking of guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A.

Abstract excerpt

One of the principal loci involved in the regulatory action of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) is guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA), whose ligand-binding efficiency and GC catalytic activity vary remarkably in different target cells and tissues. In its mature form, NPRA resides in the plasma membrane and contains an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single...
