Recombinant Human Atrial natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P17342

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NPR3

Target Full Name

Atrial natriuretic peptide receptor 3

Target Function

Receptor for the natriuretic peptide hormones, binding with similar affinities atrial natriuretic peptide NPPA/ANP, brain natriuretic peptide NPPB/BNP, and C-type natriuretic peptide NPPC/CNP. May function as a clearance receptor for NPPA, NPPB and NPPC, regulating their local concentrations and effects. May regulate diuresis, blood pressure and skeletal development. Does not have guanylate cyclase activity.

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

ANF receptor family

Target Synonyms

NPR3; ANPRC; C5orf23; NPRC; Atrial natriuretic peptide receptor 3; Atrial natriuretic peptide clearance receptor; Atrial natriuretic peptide receptor type C; ANP-C; ANPR-C; NPR-C

Target Background

This gene encodes one of three natriuretic peptide receptors. Natriutetic peptides are small peptides which regulate blood volume and pressure, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac function as well as some metabolic and growth processes. The product of this gene encodes a natriuretic peptide receptor responsible for clearing circulating and extracellular natriuretic peptides through endocytosis of the receptor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
