Atriales natriuretisches Peptid
ANP (atriales natriuretisches Peptid), auch bekannt als ANF (atrialer natriuretischer Faktor), Atriopeptin, natriuretisches Peptid Typ A, Cardionatrine, CDD (Cardiodilatin) oder Vorhof-Natriuretischer Faktor, ist ein
Peptidhormon, das zum größten Teil von den
Muskelzellen (Myocyten) des
Herzvorhofes (Atrium) aufgrund von Dehnungsreizen ausgeschüttet wird. Es bewirkt eine Steigerung der
Harnausscheidung. Daran gekoppelt ist eine
Natrium-Ionen-ausschwemmende (natriuretische) Wirkung. Die Höhe des Hormonspiegels wurde teilweise als ein Hinweis für den Schweregrad einer
Herzinsuffizienz betrachtet, hat jedoch keine diagnostische Wertigkeit erreichen können.
