Abstract
atriopeptins comprise a family of small peptides, originally isolated from rat atria, that exert potent effects on natriuresis, diuresis, and vascular smooth muscle relaxation (3, 5, 17). The active peptides range from 21 to 33 amino acids in length and differ only in the number of residues flanking a 17-amino acid disulfide-linked core. A 126-amino acid prohormone is stored in granules in both atria and is released from heart cells in culture (2). After pharmacological stimulation or atrial stretch, atriopeptin (AP) is found in the circulation primarily as the 28-amino acid peptide, AP28 (10, 24).
