Natriuretic peptides A (NPPA) is a hormone playing a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis through regulation of natriuresis, diuresis, and vasodilation. It specifically binds the atrial natriuretic peptide receptor 1 (NPR1) and stimulates its guanylate cyclase activity resulting in cGMP production (Koller et al. 1991, Pandey 2014).
