Regulation of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Secretion

H Ruskoaho and O Vuolteenaho

The major determinant of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) secretion is myocyte stretch. Other stimuli, affecting the activity of protein kinase C and the intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ and adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate, can act as secretagogues. Evidence that ANP released from ventricular myocytes contributes to plasma ANP levels is also reviewed.
