The GHRPs (growth hormone-releasing peptides) are a class of small synthetic peptides
known to stimulate GH release through binding of a G-protein-coupled receptor (designated …

Revised Manuscript Received June 13, 1988 abstract: The atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) R!
receptor from bovine adrenal zona glomerulosa was solubilized withTriton X-100 and purified …

Primary culture of bovine adrenal subcapsular cells was used to investigate direct effects of
catecholamines on aldosterone secretion. Cells dispersed with collagenase and DNAse and …

The natriuretic peptide receptor‐A (NPR‐A) is composed of an extracellular ligand‐binding
domain, a transmembrane‐spanning domain, a kinase homology domain (KHD) and a …

We have shown previously (Rondeau, J.-J., McNicoll, N., Gagnon, J., Bouchard, N., Ong, H.,
and De Léan, A. (1995) Biochemistry34, 2130–2136) that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) …

UV cross-linking studies of the natriuretic pepti de receptor- B (NPR-B )using radio labeled C-type
natriuretic peptide (CNP) indicate that onlyfully glycosylated receptors are capable of …

Co-transfection of a truncated natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) with the full length
receptor results in a decrease of 60–80% in wild-type receptor activity. This reduction correlates …

The natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) is composed of an extracellular domain with a
ligand binding site, a transmembrane-spanning domain, a kinase homology domain, and a …

A portion of the ligand binding domain for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was identified as an
affinity cross-linked proteolytic fragment of bovine adrenal natriuretic peptide receptor type-…
