Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) Des[18-22] (4-23) amide, rat is a selective agonist of natriuretic peptide receptor subtype C (NPR-C). 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 β-adrenoreceptors. ANP increases renal sodium excretion resulting in decreased expanded extracellular fluid volume (ECF). ANP is degraded by neutral endopeptidase (NEP).
