Mouse Anti-BNP (NPPB, Brain Natriuretic Peptide, Gamma brain natriuretic peptide, BNP 32, Natriuretic peptide precursor B, Natriuretic peptide brain type)
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), now known as B-type natriuretic peptide (also BNP) or GC-B, is a 32aa polypeptide secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to excessive stretching of heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes). The physiologic actions of BNP are similar to ANP and include decrease in systemic vascular resistance and central venous pressure as well as an increase in natriuresis.
