Description
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.
Bio-activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Mouse NPRC/NPR3 Fc Chimera is immobilized at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well), the concentration of Recombinant Mouse Osteocrin that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is 0.6-3.6 ng/mL.
