| Description | C-type natriuretic peptide (BNP-like peptide CNP-22) |
| Organism | Anguilla japonica |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Opisthokonta; Metazoa; Eumetazoa; Bilateria; Deuterostomia; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Gnathostomata (jawed vertebrates); Teleostomi; Euteleostomi; Actinopterygii; Actinopteri; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Elopocephalai; Elopocephala; Elopomorpha; Anguilliformes (true eels); Anguillidae (freshwater eels); Anguilla; Anguilla japonica (Japanese eel) |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | Expression is generally higher in freshwater eels than in saltwater ones; except in brain; where the levels are the same. |
| Similarity | Belongs to the natriuretic peptide family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in brain and liver; and moderately in gut; gills and heart. Expressed to a low level in atrium; ventricle and liver of fresh water eels. |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | Hormone which plays a role in endochondral ossification through regulation of cartilaginous growth plate chondrocytes proliferation and differentiation. May also be vasoactive and natriuretic. May be important for freshwater adaptation. |
