Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) is a 38-residue peptide[1] and a member of natriuretic peptide family.[2] It is structurally similar to the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and possesses biologic properties similar to these natriuretic peptides.[2][1]
DNP was originally isolated from the venom of the green mamba snake (Dendroaspis angusticeps),[1] from which its name is derived.
