By binding with its receptor and thereafter activating guanylate cyclase, ANP increases intracellular cGMP level and hence produces biological effects. ANP exerts diuretic, natriuretic, vasorelaxant and antiproliferative actions and plays an important role in main-tening blood pressure, balance of fluid and sodium and also in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases.Read More
