Abstract excerpt
Natriuretic peptide receptors A (NPR-A) and B (NPR-B) mediate most effects of natriuretic peptides by synthesizing cGMP. ATP increases the activity of these receptors by an unknown mechanism. We recently reported that a nonhydrolyzable form of ATP, adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMPPNP), stabilizes but is not required for the activation of NPR-A and NPR-B in membranes from highly overexpressing cells. Here, we...
