natriuretic peptide receptor

Introduction

Appears to be at least 3 natriuretic peptide receptors: two with guanylate cyclase activity (NPR1/ANP-A& NPR2/ANP-B) & one (NPR3/ANP-C) probably responsible for the clearance of natriuretic peptides from the circulation without a role in signal transduction.
