Anti-BNP antibody

Target data

Brain natriuretic peptide 32. Cardiac hormone that plays a key role in mediating cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed : 1672777, PubMed : 17372040, PubMed : 1914098, PubMed : 9458824). May also function as a paracrine antifibrotic factor in the heart (By similarity). Acts by specifically binding and stimulating NPR1 to produce cGMP, which in turn activates effector proteins that drive various biological responses (PubMed : 1672777, PubMed : 17349887, PubMed : 17372040, PubMed : 21098034, PubMed : 25339504, PubMed : 9458824). Involved in regulating the extracellular fluid volume and maintaining the fluid-electrolyte balance through natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, and inhibition of renin and aldosterone secretion (PubMed : 1914098, PubMed : 9458824). Binds the clearance receptor NPR3 (PubMed : 16870210).. NT-proBNP. May affect cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed : 17372040). Able to promote the production of cGMP although its potency is very low compared to brain natriuretic peptide 32 (PubMed : 17372040).. BNP(3-32). May have a role in cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed : 17372040). Able to promote the production of cGMP (PubMed : 17372040).
