CAS 102686-43-1: Atrial Natriuretic Factor (3-28) (human)
Description:Atrial Natriuretic Factor (3-28) (human), with the CAS number 102686-43-1, is a peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in cardiovascular homeostasis. It is derived from the larger precursor pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) and consists of 26 amino acids, specifically the C-terminal fragment. This peptide is primarily produced in the atria of the heart and is released in response to increased blood volume and pressure. Its main characteristics include its ability to promote natriuresis, which is the excretion of sodium through urine, and diuresis, the increased production of urine. Additionally, it acts as a vasodilator, helping to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Atrial Natriuretic Factor (3-28) also inhibits the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, further contributing to its role in fluid balance and blood pressure regulation. Due to its physiological significance, it is of interest in research related to heart failure, hypertension, and other cardiovascular disorders.
