title: Receptors for natriuretic peptides in adrenal chromaffin cells.
abstract: Atrial, brain, and C-type natriuretic peptides of the atrial natriuretic peptide family are present in adrenal chromaffin cells, and are secreted with catecholamines by exocytosis. These peptides modulate the physiological functions of the cells such as synthesis and secretion of catecholamines in an autocrine manner interacting with natriuretic peptide receptors.
