Natriuretic Peptide Receptor (NPR)

Natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) ligands act on the receptors that mediate natriuresis and vasodilation. Atrial, B-type and C-type natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP, CNP) bind three receptors, NPR-A, NPR-B and NPR-C. NPR-A and NPR-B are transmembrane guanylyl cyclases that make cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) rather than coupling to G proteins. A membrane guanylyl cyclase was shown in 1989 to act as an ANP receptor. NPR-C lacks a cyclase domain and was proposed in 1987 to clear natriuretic peptides from the circulation. Nesiritide acetate, a form of human BNP, and ularitide activate NPR-A. AP 811 is an NPR-C antagonist, and A 71915 is listed as an ANP antagonist.

    Nesiritide

    Synonyms: Brain Natriuretic Peptide-32 human; BNP-32

    Nesiritide, a recombinant form of human B-type natriuretic peptide, primarily functions as an agonist of natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs), specifically NPR-A and NPR-C, with affinity constants of 7.3 pM and 13 pM, respectively. It effectively regulates the activation and inactivation of L-type calcium channels, resulting in significant vasodilatory, diuretic, and natriuretic effects. Nesiritide is utilized in research on cardiovascular diseases, particularly in models of heart failure and vascular remodeling following arterial injury.
