Abstract :
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a clinically useful anti-hypertensive hormone. Maleimide derivatives of ANP have been synthesized and conjugated to cysteine-34 of human serum albumin. The conjugates were analyzed to assess their stability, receptor binding affinity and ability to stimulate guanylyl-cyclase activity in rat lung fibroblasts.
