Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) are members of a family of
hormones secreted from the atrium, ventricle, and vascular endothelial cells. Three receptors, type A (specific for ANP and BNP),
type B (specific for CNP and ANP) and the clearance receptor, have been characterised.
The mature form of BNP, secreted predominantly by the cardiac ventricle, is formed from a high molecular weight precursor,
proBNP (1-108).
BNP is stored in the human cardiac tissue mainly as BNP-32, with a lesser amount of the precursor peptide, proBNP

The NT-proBNP Rapid Test Device (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a simple test that utilizes a combination of anti-NT-proBNP antibody coated particles and capture reagent to detect NT-proBNP in whole blood, serum or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF). The minimum detection level is 450 pg/mL. This test provides accurate results in 10 minutes.

The BNP Fragment (nt-proBNP 8-29) EIA is an enzyme imunoassay for the quantitative determination of nt-proBNP (8-29) in serum or plasma. The mature form of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is formed from the BNP (1-108) precursor and is secreted predominantly by the cardiac ventricles. Circulating forms of BNP include BNP-32 (77-108), a high molecular weight BNP which has not been well characterizedand and the nt-proBNP (1-76).
