}The distribution and nature of natriuretic peptide receptors (NPR) in the gills of dogfish, Squalus acanthias, were examined by tissue section autoradiography, competition analysis, protein electrophoresis, guanylate cyclase (GC) assays, and molecular cloning. Specific NP binding occurred on the gill filaments, but not on the interbranchial septum or gill arch. The binding was densest on the efferent edge of the gills. Higher resolution light-microscopic examination of emulsion-coated sections…

It is concluded that GC-uncoupled receptors in the dogfish gill have higher molecular mass than those of mammals and eel, and are present mostly as monomers even in non-reducing conditions, however, a small population of GC-coupled receptor is also present, as demonstrated by an increase in cGMP production.

NP binding sites in the adult gill and aorta are of an NPR-C/D type, whereas an additional GC-coupled site exists in juveniles, suggesting that NP-stimulated enhancement of cyclic GMP accumulation was found in juveniles in fresh water and more particularly in salt water.

The presence of a natriuretic peptide guanylyl cyclase receptor in the gills of Hagfish Eptatretus cirrhatus is indicated that is similar to the natriuric peptide Guanyly l cyclase receptors in higher vertebrates.

It is concluded that the shark gill expresses an ET(B) receptor with substantial homology to the mammalian receptor and that ET may play an important role in modulating such vital gill functions as gas exchange, ion regulation, acid-base balance, and excretion of nitrogen.

The data show that the toad brain contains an extensive natriuretic peptide system that could possibly interact with peptides such as arginine vasotocin and several other hormones involved in a number of different functions.

The data show that the intrafilamental gill vasculature of toadfish contains a major population of natriuretic peptide receptors very similar to mammalian clearance receptors and a smaller population of receptors that are linked to a membrane-bound guanylate cyclase.

The shark rectal gland was examined for natriuretic peptide receptors and the presence of guanylate cyclase-linked receptors and non-guanylatecyclase- linked receptors for CNP was determined and the importance of the integrity of the ring structure of CNP is underlined by the significant loss of affinity when the peptide ring is opened.

In contrast to other species from teleosts to mammals thus far examined, the majority of CNP in dogfish plasma was prohormone instead of processed, mature forms.

The data suggest that, in elasmobranchs, CNP is a primary hormone in the natriuretic peptide family, and also that C NP is processed differently in the brain and heart.

These studies suggest that sCNP may be the physiological regulator of rectal gland function and based on the order of potencies, position 4 in the NH2-terminal end and the ring itself are important for ligand effects.

The data suggest that CNP is released from the dogfish shark heart and is a circulating hormone with potent vasodilatory effects, in sharp contrast to the apparent role of CNP predominantly as a brain neuropeptide in mammals.
