Natriuretic peptides are a family of structurally related but genetically distinct
hormones/paracrine factors that regulate blood volume, blood pressure, ventricular …

Nitric oxide, bicarbonate, natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP and CNP), guanylins, uroguanylins
and guanylyl cyclase activating proteins (GCAPs) activate a family of enzymes variously …

Human GABAB (γ-aminobutyric acid class B) receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor
central to inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain. It functions as an obligatory heterodimer …

The homodimeric transmembrane receptor natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B [also
known as guanylate cyclase B, GC-B, and GUC2B]; gene name NPR2) produces …

The long-predicted endocrine function of the heart has been proven by the discovery of atrial
natriuretic peptide (atrial natriuretic factor, A-type natriuretic peptide; ANP) 20 years ago …

Membrane receptors, key components in signal transduction, often function as dimers.
These include some G protein–coupled receptors such as metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) …

Integrins are adhesion molecules that convey signals both to and from the cytoplasm across
the plasma membrane. In resting cells, integrins in a low affinity state can be activated …

Increasing evidence suggests that natriuretic peptides (NPs) play diverse roles in mammals,
including renal hemodynamics, neuroendocrine, and cardiovascular functions. Collectively …

Handbook of Cell Signaling, Three-Volume Set, 2e, is a comprehensive work covering all
aspects of intracellular signal processing, including extra/intracellular membrane receptors …

Dimerization is fairly common in the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. First
attempts to rationalize this phenomenon gave rise to an idea that two receptors in a dimer …
