Ring cleavage of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANF) between Cys7 and Phe8 by endoprotease 3.4.24.11 yields X-ANF. Since endoprotease 3.4.24.11 may contribute to ANF metabolism in vivo, the present study determined if X-ANF exhibits reduced biological activity in comparison to the parent molecule.
心房利钠肽(ANF)经内肽酶3.4.24.11在半胱氨酸7和苯丙氨酸8之间进行环裂解后产生X-ANF。由于内肽酶3.4.24.11可能在体内参与ANF的代谢,本研究确定了与母体分子相比,X-ANF是否表现出降低的生物活性。
