NPPA

Gene
NPPA
Protein
Natriuretic peptides A
Organism
Ovis aries
Length
152 amino acids
Function
Hormone playing a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis through regulation of natriuresis, diuresis, and vasodilation. Also plays a role in female pregnancy by promoting trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling in uterus. Specifically binds and stimulates the cGMP production of the NPR1 receptor. Binds the clearance receptor NPR3 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the natriuretic peptide family.
