UniProt functional annotation for P17342

UniProt code: P17342.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Receptor for the natriuretic peptide hormones, binding with similar affinities atrial natriuretic peptide NPPA/ANP, brain natriuretic peptide NPPB/BNP, and C-type natriuretic peptide NPPC/CNP. May function as a clearance receptor for NPPA, NPPB and NPPC, regulating their local concentrations and effects. May regulate diuresis, blood pressure and skeletal development. Does not have guanylate cyclase activity. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70180}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer; disulfide-linked (PubMed:11533490). Dimers can also be formed through the C-terminal cysteine of isoform 2 (PubMed:11533490). Interacts with OSTN (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70180, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11533490}.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Miscellaneous: Has low affinity for peptide hormones in the absence of bound chloride.
Similarity: Belongs to the ANF receptor family. {ECO:0000305}.
