Rat pro-atrial natriuretic factor expression and post-translational processing in mouse corticotropic pituitary tumor cells.

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is stored within atrial myocyte secretory granules as pro-ANF (ANF-(1-126] and is proteolytically processed co-secretionally C-terminal to a single basic amino acid to form ANF-(1-98) and the bioactive product …

Secretion of atrial natriuretic factor-(1-98) by primary cardiac myocytes.

Previous studies have demonstrated that primary cultures of cardiac myocytes maintained in a complete serum-free medium contain a precursor to atrial natriuretic factor (ANF-(1-126]. The cultured cells secrete this precursor unless maintained in the …
