Abstract
Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) belongs to the family of natriuretic peptides, the other members being Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) and C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP); each type also existing in iso-forms. The average peptide length is 30 amino acid residues ranging from 20 to 54 [14]. Their systemic effects are hypotension, natriuresis and hyponatraemia, acting via specific natriuretic peptide receptors characterized on the basis of pharmacology and molecular biology [5].
