Function
Receptor for the natriuretic peptide hormones, binding with similar affinities atrial natriuretic peptide NPPA/ANP, brain natriuretic peptide NPPB/BNP, and C-type natriuretic peptide NPPC/CNP. May function as a clearance receptor for NPPA, NPPB and NPPC, regulating their local concentrations and effects. Acts as a regulator of osteoblast differentiation and bone growth by binding to its ligand osteocrin, thereby preventing binding between NPR3/NPR-C and natriuretic peptides, leading to increase cGMP production.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein)
Disease Association: [Defects in Npr3 are the cause of a number of skeletal-overgrowth phenotypes, Longjohn (Lgj), Longjohn-2J (Lgj-2J) and Strigosus (Stri). These are all recessive conditions characterized by an elongated body, thoracic kyphosis, arachnodactyly, and sacral and/or tail kinks, but no significant changes in craniofacial structures ]
