Other Natriuretic Factors
In addition to the mammalian natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP, CNP), other natriuretic peptides with similar structure and properties have been isolated elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Tervonen (1998) described a salmon natriuretic peptide known as salmon cardiac peptide, while dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) can be found in the venom of the green mamba, a species of African snake.
