ncbi summary :
This gene is a member of the natriuretic peptide family and encodes a secreted protein which functions as a cardiac hormone. The protein undergoes two cleavage events, one within the cell and a second after secretion into the blood. The protein's biological actions include natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, inhibition of renin and aldosterone secretion, and a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis. A high concentration of this protein in the bloodstream is indicative of heart failure. Mutations in this gene have been associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
NPPB: 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. Belongs to the natriuretic peptide family. Protein type: Secreted; Hormone; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p36.2. Cellular Component: extracellular space; protein complex; extracellular region. Molecular Function: diuretic hormone activity; hormone activity; receptor binding. Biological Process: cGMP biosynthetic process; negative regulation of angiogenesis; cell surface receptor linked signal transduction; regulation of vasodilation; receptor guanylyl cyclase signaling pathway; regulation of blood pressure; regulation of vascular permeability; negative regulation of cell growth; body fluid secretion; regulation of blood vessel size
