5. Regional differences in BNP and CNP expression were observed in myocardium with sustained left ventricular dyssynchronous contraction.

Cow (Bovine) Natriuretic Peptide Precursor C (NPPC) interaction partners

1. Data suggest natriuretic peptide precursor C (NPPC) can regulate oogenesis/gap junction mediated communication between oocytes and cumulus cells; here, NPPC is used in non-pharmacological coordination of meiotic prophase in vitro oocyte maturation.

Mouse (Murine) Natriuretic Peptide Precursor C (NPPC) interaction partners

1. the present study indicates that CNP and its cognate receptor NPR2 mainly expressed in neurons represent an innate neuroprotective mechanism in neonataI hypoxia-ischemia brain injury.

2. this study shows that Nppc induces sperm attraction for fertilization

3. E2-ERs system was functional in maintaining oocyte meiotic arrest by regulating the expression of natriuretic peptide C and natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPPC/NPR2)

4. CNP activates bone turnover and remodeling in vivo and possibly accelerates fracture healing in a mouse model.

5. The up-to-day world-wide data about the structure, distribution, and physiological effects of the most poorly known among the natriuretic peptides--the C-type (CNP)--are summarized in the review.

6. Connexin mimetics directed against connexin-43 (Cx43 CMP) overcame NPPC-mediated meiotic arrest in both isolated cumulus oocyte complexes and antral follicles.

7. CNP/NPR-C pathway has potential as a disease-modifying therapeutic target for cardiovascular disorders

9. CNP overexpression in chondrocytes can prevent endochondral growth delay and protect against cartilage damage in a mouse model of inflammatory arthritis.

10. Data suggest that intracerebroventricular administration of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP-22 or CNP-53) has anorexigenic effect on hypothalamic neurons via activation of melanocortin/melanocortin receptor signal transduction.

11. CNP/NPR2 signaling is essential for oocyte meiotic arrest in early antral follicles and activated LH/amphiregulin/EGFR signaling pathway suppresses this signal by downregulating Nppc expression.
