What is Dendroaspis Natriuretic Peptide (DNP)?

A naturally occurring natriuretic peptide originally isolated from green mamba venom and used as a research ligand for natriuretic peptide receptors. It is a potent cGMP-elevating peptide with strong vasodilatory and natriuretic effects in experimental models.

Key Benefits & Mechanisms

potent vasodilation

natriuresis

cGMP elevation

Research Summary

Real, documented natriuretic peptide family member that has been studied for receptor pharmacology and cardiovascular effects; of interest in translational natriuretic-peptide research.
