What Does ANPR Stand For?
ANPR stands for Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Receptor
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Receptor (ANPR) is a protein found in various tissues, primarily in the cardiovascular system. It binds to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a hormone involved in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance. The activation of ANPR leads to vasodilation, reduced blood volume, and inhibition of renin release, contributing to the overall control of cardiac and vascular function. ANPR plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and may be relevant in the study of heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases.
