MeSH Heading: Natriuretic Peptide, C-Type
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.584.750; D12.644.548.585.750
Unique ID: D020098
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020098
Scope Note: A PEPTIDE of 22 amino acids, derived mainly from cells of VASCULAR ENDOTHELIUM. It is also found in the BRAIN, major endocrine glands, and other tissues. It shares structural homology with ATRIAL NATRIURETIC FACTOR. It has vasorelaxant activity thus is important in the regulation of vascular tone and blood flow. Several high molecular weight forms containing the 22 amino acids have been identified.
