Two atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) receptor subtypes are present in vascular smooth muscle cells: the B receptors (or biologically active) coupled to a guanylate cyclase and the C receptors (clearance) representing 95% of the total number of ANF binding sites but noncoupled to a guanylate cyclase. Using binding experiments with 125I-ANF and measurement of cGMP production stimulated by ANF, we were able to demonstrate that ANF receptors are sensitive to homologous (induced by ANF) and heterologous regulation (induced by angiotensin II, AII) in rat cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. The effect of the two hormones showed marked differences, in their time course, their reversibility and their consequence on guanylate cyclase activity. Although both ANF and AII reduced the total number of ANF binding sites after 18 h, ANF induced a desensitization of the guanylate cyclase whereas AII elicited a potentialization of this system. From these results, we have concluded that in vascular cells B receptors are sensitive to homologous regulation and C receptors are sensitive to heterologous regulation by AII. This also highlights a specific interaction between ANF and AII at the receptor level.

D011956	Receptors, Cell Surface	Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
