Mouse N-Terminal Pro-Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (NT-ProANP) ELISA Kit-Sandwich

N-Terminal Pro-Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proANP) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the heart, primarily associated with cardiovascular functions. It acts as a precursor fragment to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which is also secreted by the heart. NT-proANP's main role is to regulate sodium and water balance in the body, as well as blood pressure. Atrial natriuretic peptide helps decrease blood volume and blood pressure by reducing sodium reabsorption and increasing urine production, thus alleviating cardiac load. In human studies, NT-proANP has been identified as a significant predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality, and it may exhibit similar effects in mouse models. Due to its high stability and long half-life, NT-proANP is highly valuable in diagnosing and assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
