Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide is degraded by a metalloproteinase in the rat kidney.
Our previous study demonstrated that the concentration of dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) was markedly higher than that of atrial NP (ANP) in rabbit plasma, indicating that DNP has a different metabolic rate from other NPs. Therefore, the metabolic characteristics of DNP in mammals require further analysis. The stabilities of NPs were determined by incubating 125I‑labeled ANP, brain NP (B...
متن کاملRenal actions of synthetic dendroaspis natriuretic peptide.
BACKGROUND Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP), recently isolated from the venom of the green Mamba snake Dendroaspis angusticeps, is a 38 amino acid peptide containing a 17 amino acid disulfide ring structure similar to that of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). DNP-like immunoreactivity (DNP-LI) was reported to be present...
متن کاملA new molecule in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: dendroaspis natriuretic peptide.
AIM Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) is the most recently identified member of the natriuretic peptide family. Although DNP has similar structure and function to other members, it is genetically different. The other members are known to cause vasorelaxation but the effects of DNP on vascular structure still remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to find out the role of DNP in the develop...
متن کاملNovel snake venom ligand dendroaspis natriuretic peptide is selective for natriuretic peptide receptor-A in human heart: downregulation of natriuretic peptide receptor-A in heart failure.
The natriuretic peptides are considered to be cardioprotective; however, their receptors have not been identified in human myocardium using radiolabeled analogs. Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) has been recently identified as a new member of this peptide family and is thought to be less susceptible to enzymatic degradation. Therefore, we have developed the novel radiolabeled analog [125I]...
متن کاملUrotensin II is a nitric oxide-dependent vasodilator and natriuretic peptide in the rat kidney.
Recent studies have indicated that urotensin II (UII), a cyclic peptide, is vasoactive and may be involved in cardiovascular dysfunctions. It remains unknown, however, whether UII plays a role in the control of renal vascular tone and tubular function. In the present study, a continuous infusion of synthetic human UII (hUII) into the renal artery (RA) in anesthetized rats was found to increase ...
