Primary TargetAdenylate cyclase, particulate guanylate cyclase

General description

Member of the natriuretic peptide family that shares structural homology with ANP and plays a role in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis, vascular tone, and vascular growth. Inhibits adenylate cyclase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Stimulates particulate guanylate cyclase activity. Shown to exert neuromodulatory effects independently of guanylate cyclase activation or adenylate cyclase inhibition.
