Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding human atrial natriuretic factor precursor

The mammalian atrium is an endocrine organ that may be involved in the control of blood pressure and extracellular fluid volume. A series of peptides 1–6 , which seem to be associated with atrium-specific secretory granules, have potent natriuretic, diuretic and smooth muscle relaxant activities. Se...
