UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P16860 (P16860)
Gene Name:
NPPB
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Cardiac hormone that plays a key role in mediating cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed:1672777, PubMed:17372040, PubMed:1914098, PubMed:9458824). May also function as a paracrine antifibrotic factor in the heart (By similarity). Acts by specifically binding and stimulating NPR1 to produce cGMP, which in turn activates effector proteins that drive various biological responses (PubMed:1672777, PubMed:17349887, PubMed:17372040, PubMed:21098034, PubMed:25339504, PubMed:9458824). 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:1914098, PubMed:9458824). Binds the clearance receptor NPR3 (PubMed:16870210) May affect cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed:17372040). Able to promote the production of cGMP although its potency is very low compared to brain natriuretic peptide 32 (PubMed:17372040) May have a role in cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed:17372040). Able to promote the production of cGMP (PubMed:17372040)
