摘要
Using the polymerase chain reaction and oligonucleotide primers constructed from knowledge of the cDNA sequence we have sequenced the gene for iso-rANP, a peptide of the B-type of atrial natriuretic peptides. The overall organization of the rat iso-ANP gene is the same as that of ANP and BNP consisting of three exons and two introns at relatively similar positions. Iso-rANP and it's gene are more closely related to BNPs than ANP and yet there are significant differences at both the protein and DNA levels. Our results suggest that iso-rANP and BNP are distinct members of the same sub-family (B-type natriuretic peptides) within the family of natriuretic peptide genes. © 1990.
