Description
Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband? antibody for BNP detection. Tested with WB, Direct ELISA in Human;Mouse. No cross reactivity with other proteins. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), also known as B-type natriuretic peptide, is a member of the natriuretic peptide family and encodes a secreted protein which functions as a cardiac hormone. The protein undergoes two cleavage events, one within the cell and a second after secretion into the blood. The protein's biological actions include natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, inhibition of renin and aldosterone secretion, and a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis. A high concentration of this protein in the bloodstream is indicative of heart failure. The protein also acts as an antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and antifungal activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
