pubmed:abstractText
Using a specific radioimmunoassay we have isolated and sequenced a new 45-amino acid peptide from rat atria which exhibits similar physiological and pharmacological properties to rat atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP). We have termed the new peptide iso-rANP, because of its functional and structural similarities to rANP. Amino acid sequence differences show that iso-rANP is genetically distinct from rANP. Iso-rANP has a single disulfide bond between residues 23-39 and this portion of the peptide shows substantial homology to rANP and to porcine brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Little homology is evident at the N- and C-termini of iso-rANP and ANP. Iso-rANP is equipotent with rANP in eliciting diuresis, natriuresis and hypotension in the bioassay rat.
