| description | Atrial natriuretic peptides (ANPs) are vertebrate hormones that play an important role in the control ofcardiovascular homeostatis, and sodium and water balance in general [, ].There are different NPs that vary in length but share a common core. All are processed from a single precursor.A disulphide bond resident in the C-terminal section is required for full activity of atriopeptins.This entry represent a conserved site which includes the two cysteines involved in the disulfide bond, and two conserved glycines that may be important for the conformation of the peptides. |
