1 CDD/ANP-1-126, cleaved from a precursor of 126 amino acids in the heart to a 28-amino acid-containing circulating molecular form (CDD/ANP-99-126), and urodilatin (CDD/ANP-95-126) share similar biochemical features and biological functions, but urodilatin may be more involved in the regulation of body fluid volume and water-electrolyte excretion, while circulating CDD/ANP-99-126 is responsible for blood pressure regulation.
