Brain Natriuretic Peptide/BNP Protein(N-6His-Flag) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Brain-type Natriuretic Peptide is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding His27-Arg102 is expressed with a 6His, Flag tag at the N-terminus. Sequence: His27-Arg102. Fusion tag: N-6His-Flag Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 14 kDa. Protein function: Brain-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is a nonglycosylated peptide that is produced predominantly by ventricular myocytes and belongs to the natriuretic peptide family. Proteolytic cleavage of the 12 kDa BNP precursor gives rise to N-terminal Pro BNP (NT-proBNP) and mature BNP. N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a useful marker of heart failure (HF), is considered to be secreted mainly from the ventricle, increased serum NT-proBNP levels are also encountered in conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial septal defect in patients without HF. Protein function: Cardiac hormone which may function as a paracrine antifibrotic factor in the heart. Also plays a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis through natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, and inhibition of renin and aldosterone secretion. Specifically binds and stimulates the cGMP production of the NPR1 receptor. Binds the clearance receptor NPR3. [The UniProt Consortium]
