Amino acid sequence of human C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) has recently been deduced to be identical to those of porcine and rat CNPs in the bioactive unit of C-terminal 22 residues (CNP-22) (1). Thus, tissue concentrations and molecular forms of immunoreactive (ir-) CNP in human brain and heart were determined or characterized using a radioimmunoassay established for porcine CNP. In human brain (hypothalamus and medullapons), ir-CNP was detected at a concentration of 1.04 pmol/g, being about 25 times or 70 times higher than ir-atrial (A-type) natriuretic peptide (ANP) or ir-brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP). CNP was present mainly as CNP-53, with CNP-22 as well as 13K CNP (presumed to be pro-CNP) as minor components. In heart, 1 approximately 5 pmol/g of ir-CNP was detected in both atrium and ventricle, but this ir-CNP was shown to be derived from crossreactivity of ANP. These results demonstrated that human CNP functions exclusively in the central nervous system in contrast to ANP and BNP which mainly function in the circulation system.
