HUMAN B-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE IS NOT DEGRADED BY MEPRIN A

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) combats cardiac stress by reducing blood pressure and ventricular fibrosis. Human BNP is inactivated by unknown cell surface proteases. N-terminal cleavage of mouse BNP by the renal protease meprin A was reported to increase inactivating degradation by a second prote...
