Scope note

  • A PEPTIDE that is secreted by the BRAIN and the HEART ATRIA, stored mainly in cardiac ventricular MYOCARDIUM. It can cause NATRIURESIS; DIURESIS; VASODILATION; and inhibits secretion of RENIN and ALDOSTERONE. It improves heart function. It contains 32 AMINO ACIDS.

History note

  • 1999, use BRAIN NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (NM) 1988-1998; use NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, BRAIN (NM) for NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE TYPE-B 1994-2003; use NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, BRAIN (NM) for NESIRITIDE 2003; for VENTRICULAR NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, B-TYPE use NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, BRAIN (NM) 1994-2003.
