Brain natriuretic peptide 32, Gamma-brain natriuretic peptide, B-type Natriuretic Peptide, GC-B, BNP-32

Brain natriuretic peptide(human) is an endogenous peptide secreted from cardiac ventricles in response to volume increase and pressure overload that acts as an agonist at atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor A (NRP1). Decreases de novo collagen synthesis and increases MMP gene expression in vitro. Exhibits natriuretic, vasodilatory and lusitropic activity and inhibits the sympathetic and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems in vivo.

Approximately 3.5 kDa.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

> 97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
