Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently an ANP specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of ANP captured in plate.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-Multi, Storage information-Please refer to protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nNatriuretic Peptides A also known as ANP ANF or NPPA are important cardiac hormones made by atrial myocytes in the heart. This peptide with a mass of around 28 amino acids plays an important role mechanically in modulating blood pressure and fluid balance. It achieves this by binding to receptors that activate cyclic GMP (cGMP) production leading to vasodilation. ANP expression is mainly found in cardiac muscle cells but also detected in other tissues under certain conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThese peptides contribute to renal sodium excretion commonly known as natriuresis and also promote diuresis which increases urine volume. ANP functions as a singular hormone without forming part of a complex. Beyond its role in cardiovascular and renal systems ANP influences lipid metabolism and adipocyte functions which may have implications for metabolic health.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nANP is engaged in the natriuretic peptide signaling pathway which is important for cardiovascular homeostasis. Within this pathway related proteins include B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) all of which share similar receptor interactions through cGMP. Additionally ANP impacts the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) a significant hormonal system regulating blood pressure and fluid balance by counteracting the actions of angiotensin II.\u003cbr\u003e\nANP is notably associated with heart failure where its levels can indicate disease severity and prognosis. Elevated ANP levels have also been linked to hypertension contributing to diagnostic evaluations alongside other biomarkers like BNP. Both heart failure and hypertension involve complex interactions between ANP and proteins such as angiotensin II within their pathophysiological frameworks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843546796201,"sku":"ab108797","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab108797","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
