Mouse NPR1/NPRA Protein

Recombinant Mouse NPR1/NPRA Protein is expressed from HEK293 with mFc (IgG1) tag at the C-terminus.It contains Ser29-Glu469. NPR1 (natriuretic peptide receptor 1), a receptor of ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) whitch acting through NPR1, provokes hypotension. NPR1 was abundantly expressed in endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells of small arteries and arterioles. NPR1 plays a crucial role in ANP-mediated blood pressure regulation, presumably by a mechanism that is RGS2-dependent in the acute phase and RGS2-independent in the chronic phase. Protein function: Receptor for the atrial natriuretic peptide NPPA/ANP and the brain natriuretic peptide NPPB/BNP which are potent vasoactive hormones playing a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Has guanylate cyclase activity upon binding of the ligand. [The UniProt Consortium]
