Type | function | Description | Receptor for the natriuretic peptide hormones, binding with similar affinities atrial natriuretic peptide NPPA/ANP, brain natriuretic peptide NPPB/BNP, and C-type natriuretic peptide NPPC/CNP (PubMed:10377427, PubMed:17951249). May function as a clearance receptor for NPPA, NPPB and NPPC, regulating their local concentrations and effects (PubMed:10377427, PubMed:17951249). May regulate diuresis, blood pressure and skeletal development (PubMed:10377427). Does not have guanylate cyclase activity (PubMed:10377427). |
