Its secretion is stimulated by atrial wall stretch, and ischemia._x000D_ Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is synthesized in myoendocrine cells of the heart from which it is released into the circulation. It exerts natriuretic, diuretic, and vasodilatory effects through stimulation of guanylate cyclase-linked NPR-A receptors. It plays an important role in blood volume and blood pressure homeostasis._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ Lyophilized from 0.1% TFA in H2O
