Recombinant Human Brain Natriuretic Peptide/BNP Protein (His & Flag Tag) (RPES3587)

BNP Recombinant Protein (RPES3587) is a highly pure recombinant protein developed by Assay Genie for use in a range of applications Protein function: [Brain natriuretic peptide 32]: Cardiac hormone that plays a key role in mediating cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed:9458824, PubMed:1672777, PubMed:1914098, PubMed:17372040). May also function as a paracrine antifibrotic factor in the heart. Acts by specifically binding and stimulating NPR1 to produce cGMP, which in turn activates effector proteins that drive various biological responses (PubMed:9458824, PubMed:1672777, PubMed:17372040, PubMed:21098034, PubMed:17349887, PubMed:25339504). 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:9458824, PubMed:1914098). Binds the clearance receptor NPR3 (PubMed:16870210). [The UniProt Consortium]
