title: AP-811, a novel ANP-C receptor selective agonist.
abstract: AP-811 is a derivative of the Phe8-Ile15 region of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and is one of the smallest linear ligands for ANP receptors. The binding and agonist activities of AP-811 have been compared with those of other ANP analogs for the ANP-A and ANP-C receptors. AP-811 binds with a high binding affinity to and is a strong agonist for the ANP-C receptor, indicating that the binding and agonist sites for this receptor are the same or near each other in the ANP sequence. In contrast, AP-811 showed no agonistic effect for the ANP-A receptor, although it could bind to this receptor. Comparing the biological activities of AP-811 with those of other ANP analogs, we propose that the binding and agonist sites for the ANP-A receptor may consist of separate regions of ANP. In conclusion, AP-811 is the smallest C-receptor-selective agonist.
