Schematic of NEP Activity (A) Normal physiology. (B) NEP inhibition by endogenous BNP or exogenous LCZ696. Ang II = angiotensin II; ANP = A-type natriuretic peptide; AT = angiotensin; BK = bradykinin; BNP = B-type natriuretic peptide; cGMP = cyclic guanosine monophosphate; CNP = C-type natriuretic peptide; ET = endothelin; GTP = guanosine triphosphate; NEP = neprilysin; NPR = natriuretic peptide receptor; RAAS = renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; SbP = substance P; sNEP = soluble neprilysin.
