Synonyms
Brain natriuretic peptide 32, Gamma-brain natriuretic peptide, B-type Natriuretic Peptide, GC-B, BNP-32
Description
Brain natriuretic peptide(human) is an endogenous peptide secreted from cardiac ventricles in response to volume increase and pressure overload that acts as an agonist at atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor A (NRP1). Decreases de novo collagen synthesis and increases MMP gene expression in vitro. Exhibits natriuretic, vasodilatory and lusitropic activity and inhibits the sympathetic and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems in vivo.

Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
