Natriuretic peptides comprise a family of 3 structurally related molecules: atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), encoded by a gene symbolized NPPC. These peptides possess potent natriuretic, diuretic, and vasodilating activities and are implicated in body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure control. Natriuretic peptide precursor C homolog of mouse C type (CNP), most strongly expressed in the brain, also expressed in vascular endothelial cells and other tissues, present at extremely low level in circulation, potentially playing a paracrine/autocrine role.

The antibody is stable for at least 1 year from the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody can also be aliquotted and stored at 4°C for 1 month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for many months without detectable loss activity. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Rabbit anti-Human Natriuretic Peptide Precursor C antibody detected specifically the target contained in tested samples (Serum and tissue). Cross reactivity with mouse and rat CNP has not yet been tested.
