Product name:Rat Pro Atrial Natriuretic Peptide,Pro-ANP ELISA Kit
Description:
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is predominantly produced in the atrium of the heart and comprises 98% of natriuretic peptides in the circulation. ANP and pro-ANP are markers for congestive heart failure.The amino-terminal portion of pro-ANP (termed NT-pro-ANP, or pro-ANP 1–98 ) is secreted at the same molar ratio as ANP. Because it has a much longer half-life than has mature ANP, it has been suggested that pro-ANP 1–98 is a more reliable analyte. Results from various competitive immunoassays and high-performance liquid chromatography analyses indicate that pro-ANP 1 – 98 may be subject to further fragmentation.
