Resumo

Natriuretic peptide hormones exert their effects by binding to receptor proteins and activating cellular responses. Fish gills interface with the aquatic environment. Therefore, natriuretic peptide receptor activity in gills from marine and freshwater fishes was examined. The potencies of natriuretic peptides were compared and a novel cellular response was identified.
