    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • A rapid natriuretic response to atrial myocardial extract was previously reported.
    • The factor responsible for diuretic, natriuretic, and vasodilating activity needed identification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To isolate and characterize the atrial natriuretic factor.
    • To elucidate its chemical structure and achieve total synthesis.
    • To identify its encoding gene and chromosomal location.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation and chemical structure elucidation of the active factor.
    • Total synthesis of the atrial natriuretic factor.
    • Cloning of the cDNA and gene in various species.
    • Identification of chromosomal sites.

    Main Results:

    • The atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was isolated, its structure elucidated, and synthesized.
    • The gene and cDNA encoding ANF were cloned in mice, rats, and humans.
    • ANF exhibits vasodilatation, diuresis, natriuresis, and inhibits aldosterone secretion.
    • Specific binding sites for ANF are found in the adrenal cortex, kidneys, and brain regions regulating blood pressure.

    Conclusions:

    • The atrial natriuretic factor is a key hormone with significant physiological roles.
    • Its actions involve blood pressure regulation, fluid balance, and electrolyte homeostasis.
    • Understanding ANF's mechanisms opens avenues for treating cardiovascular and renal diseases.
