Description
BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) belongs to a family of structurally similar peptide hormones, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), BNP, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and urodilatin.ANP and BNP act mainly as cardiac hormones, produced primarily by the atrium and ventricle, respectively, while the gene encoding C-type natriuretic peptide is expressed mainly in the brain.BNP circulates in blood as a peptide hormone with natriuretic, vasodilatory and renin inhibitory properties.It is secreted predominantly by the left ventricular myocytes in response to volume expansion and pressure overload.These peptides are characterized by a common 17 amino acid ring structure with a disulfide bond between two cystein residues.This ring structure shows high homology between different natriuretic.
