title: Identification of a biologically active circulating form of rat atrial natriuretic factor.
abstract: An atrial natriuretic peptide has been isolated from plasma of morphine treated rats by means of glass beads extraction, immunoaffinity chromatography, and reverse phase HPLC. 1.3 micrograms of immunoreactive material was obtained. The biological activity of this material was found comparable to that of ANF (Arg 101 - Tyr 126) on the inhibition of basal aldosterone secretion by rat adrenal zona glomerulosa cells and the displacement curve of iodinated ANF from ANF receptors in a mesenteric artery preparation. Gas phase amino acid sequencing indicated that it is related to ANF (Ser 99 - Tyr 126). These results suggest that the maturation of ANF may require a tryptic-like cleavage after a single Arg residue.
