Rat Natriuretic Peptides B, NPPB ELISA Kit, 96T Peptide Library The protein encoded by this

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) family

It can also mediate inhibitory signals in NK cells from X-linked lymphoproliferative patients

An important paralog of this gene is TCEAL4

is a 205 amino acid protein that belongs to the small GTPase superfamily as well as the Ras family

Rat Natriuretic Peptides B, NPPB ELISA Kit, 96T Peptide Library The protein encoded by this[Brain natriuretic Peptide 45]: Cardiac hormone that plays a key role in mediating cardio renal homeostasis (PubMed: 2525380, PubMed: 9252368). May also function as a paracrine antifibrotic factor in the heart (By similarity). Acts by specifically binding and stimulating NPR1 to produce cGMP, which in turn activates effector proteins that drive various biological responses (By similarity). Likely involved in regulating the extracellular fluid volume
