Aliases | | ,ANPRC,GUCY2B,NPRC, |
Gene summary | | The family of natriuretic peptides (see MIM 108780) elicit a number of vascular, renal, and endocrine effects that are important in the maintenance of blood pressure and extracellular fluid volume. These effects are mediated by specific binding of the peptides to cell surface receptors in the vasculature, kidney, adrenal, and brain.[supplied by OMIM] |
