Natriuretic Peptide, C-Type by Molecular Depot is a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), identical in human and porcine. CNP acts through the natriuretic peptide receptor B rather than the receptor A used by the atrial and brain peptides, and it works locally on vascular tone and bone growth rather than as a circulating hormone. It is used in natriuretic peptide receptor research, in vascular tone and endochondral bone growth studies and as a reference peptide in CNP immunoassays. Each unit contains 100 µg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot protein reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
