ANP is synthesized as an inactive preprohormone, encoded by the human NPPA gene located on the short arm of chromosome 1.[1] The NPPA gene is expressed primarily in atrial myocytes and comprises of 2 introns and 3 exons, with translation of this gene yielding a high molecular mass 151 amino acid polypeptide known as preproANP.[2] The preprohormone is activated via post-translational modification that involves cleavage of the 25 amino acid signal sequence to produce proANP, a 126 amino acid peptide that is the major form of ANP stored in intracellular granules of the atria.[3] Following stimulation of atrial cells, proANP is released and rapidly converted to the 28-amino-acid C-terminal mature ANP on the cell surface by the cardiac transmembrane serine protease corin.[4][5]
