" /> Natriuretic Peptides A - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Natriuretic Peptides A;

NCIt synonyms : CDP; NPPA; Cardiodilatin-Related Peptide; Atrial Natriuretic Polypeptides; Prepronatriodilatin; CDD; Natriuretic Peptide Precursor A; Cardiodilatin;

NCIt definition : Natriuretic peptides A (153 aa, 17 kDa) is encoded by the human NPPA gene. This protein is involved in uterine artery remodeling, trophoblast invasion, natriuresis, diuresis, and vasodilation.;

NCIt note : Natriuretic peptides A is cleaved on the C-terminal side of amino acid 123 by atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme (Corin), which releases the 28 amino acid active hormone atrial natriuretic factor (ANF; atrionatriuretic factor, atriopeptin, atrial natriuretic peptide; ANP; cardionatrin). ANF can be cleaved by macrophage metalloelastase (MME), which promotes degradation of the hormone. (UniProt);
