| Subcellular Location | [NT-proBNP]- Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the natriuretic peptide family. |
| Tissue Specificity | [Brain natriuretic peptide 32]- Detected in the cardiac atria (at protein level) (PubMed-2138890; PubMed-2136732). Detected in the kidney distal tubular cells (at protein level) (PubMed-9794555). |
| Post Translational Modification | The precursor molecule is proteolytically cleaved by the endoproteases FURIN or CORIN at Arg-102 to produce brain natriuretic peptide 32 and NT-proBNP (PubMed-21314817; PubMed-10880574; PubMed-2176327 |
