This lyophilized preparation is stable for 12 months from date of receipt at -20 to -70 degrees C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation can be stored for 1 month at 2-8 degrees C under sterile conditions, and for 3 months at -20 degrees C to -70 degrees C. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Stock solutions should be aliquoted and stored at < -20 degrees C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions

Background: BNP

Brain Natriuretic Peptide is encoded by the BNP gene located on the Chr.1 in humans. It is firstly discovered in the porcine brain and given this name, but the protein is mainly expressed in the cardiac ventricles in human body after the excessive stretching of cardiomyocytes. The gene expresses a 134 a.a. sequence which contains a 1-26 a.a. signal peptide and 27-134 a.a. Natriuretic peptides B, and the BNP is the 32 a.a. C-terminus of natriuretic peptides B. The BNP can be cleaved in 16 chains and the rHuBNP is 1-32. BNP acts as a cardiac hormone with a variety of functions including natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, and inhibition of renin and aldosterone secretion. Additionnaly, it plays a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis, helps restore the body's salt and water balance and improves heart function.
