Two classes of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors are present in purified sarcolemmal membrane fractions isolated from rat ventricle. Scatchard analysis using [125I]-ANP reveals high affinity (Kd approximately 10(-11) M) and low affinity (Kd approximately 10(-9) M) binding sites. Basal guanylate cyclase activities associated with these membrane fractions range from 3.2 +/- 1.3 pmol/min/mg protein in the presence of Mg2+ to 129 +/- 17 pmol/min/mg protein in the presence of Mn2+. Millimolar concentrations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) potentiates Mg2+- but not Mn2+-supported activity. Binding of ANP to the low affinity site but not the high affinity site results in a maximum 2-fold activation of Mn2+- and up to 6-fold activation of Mg2+/ATP supported guanylate cyclase activities.

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.
