CAS Number: 118691-44-4 Molecular Weight: 2273.07 Salt Form: TFA Purity: >96% Sequence (3-letter): Cys-Phe-Gly-Ser-Arg-Ile-Asp-Arg-Ile-Gly-Ala-Gln-Ser-Gly-Met-Gly-Cys-Gly-Arg-Arg-Phe-OH [Cys1-Cys17] Sequence (1-letter): CFGSRIDRIGAQSGMGCGRRF-OH Storage: -20 ?C or below Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) is a cardiovascular hormone which is synthesized in cardiac muscular cells. It is released in response to stretching of atrial walls, Endothelin, and stimulation of ?-adrenoreceptors. ANP increases renal sodium excretion resulting in decreased expanded extracellular fluid volume (ECF). ANP is degraded by neutral endopeptidase (NEP). This is a 21-aa bioactive peptide found in frog heart extract with diuretic/natriuretic and vasorelaxant activities.
