Atrial natriuretic factor receptor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The atrial natriuretic factor receptor is generic term for the natriuretic peptide receptor system which actually consists of at least three isoforms:

• NPRA (NPR1)
• NPRB (NPR2)
• NPRC (NPR3)

These receptors bind the Atrial, Brain and C-type natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP and CNP respectively).
