Porcine Brain Natriuretic Peptide-32 (Bnp-32)

Porcine Brain Natriuretic Peptide-32 (also known as B-type natriuretic peptide or ""GC-B"") is a 32-amino-acid polypeptide secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to excessive stretching of myocytes (heart muscles cells) in the ventricles. At the time of release, a co-secreted 76 amino acid n-terminal fragment (NT-proBNP) is also released with B-type natriuretic peptide BNP. B-type natriuretic peptide BNP binds to and activates NPRA in a similar fashion to atrial natriuretic peptide but with 10-fold lower affinity.
