Urodilatin, Human

Urodilatin is a renal natriuretic peptide closely related to ANP but containing four additional N-terminal residues. Produced in the kidney, it promotes natriuresis and diuresis through particulate guanylyl cyclase signaling.

• cardiovascular and renal signaling
• natriuretic peptide receptor research
• GPCR or cyclic-GMP signaling
• vascular and smooth-muscle studies

Disulfide connectivity, amidation and exact peptide length define these vasoactive reagents. Maintain sequence- and modification-matched controls for receptor and signaling comparisons.
