Natriuretic peptides (NPs) exert diverse effects on several biological and physiological
systems, such as kidney function, neural and endocrine signaling, energy metabolism, and …

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), also known as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), is an
endogenous and potent hypotensive hormone that elicits natriuretic, diuretic, vasorelaxant …

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) associated diarrhea is responsible for roughly half
a million deaths per year, the majority taking place in developing countries. The main agent …

All animals rely on their ability to sense and respond to their environment to survive.
However, the suitability of a behavioral response is context-dependent, and must reflect both …

The cardiac hormones atrial natriuretic peptide and B‐type natriuretic peptide (brain
natriuretic peptide) activate guanylyl cyclase (GC)‐A/natriuretic peptide receptor‐A (NPRA) …

A sequel to these authors' earlier comprehensive reviews which covered the field of
mammalian membrane guanylate cyclase (MGC) from its origin to the year 2010, this article …

The topology of the GCAP-2 homodimer was investigated by chemical cross-linking and
high resolution mass spectrometry. Complementary conducted size-exclusion …

The natriuretic peptides (NPs) hormone family, which consists mainly of atrial, brain, and C-
type NPs (ANP, BNP, and CNP), play diverse roles in mammalian species, ranging from …

This monograph presents a historical perspective of cornerstone developments on the
biochemistry and physiology of mammalian membrane guanylate cyclases (MGCs) …

Changes in intracellular calcium ions [Ca2+] play important roles in photoreceptor signaling.
Consequently, intracellular [Ca2+] levels need to be tightly controlled. In the light-sensitive …
