Description
The Natriuretic peptides (NP) are a naturally occurring family of peptides that increase salt excretion in the urine. One of the side effects of NP is decreasing blood pressure. We have created a designer peptide based on the amino acids sequence of the 3 existing NPs ANP, BNP and CNP which has the properties of salt and water excretion without the hypotensive effects of NP. The peptide ABC-NP may be potentially useful in help patients get rid of salt and water in heart failure, renal disease and liver disease.
