Natriuretic peptides (NP) act as ligands on the guanylyl cyclase family of receptors. The NP binding site on these receptors is extracellular and the guanylyl cyclase and protein kinase domains are intracellular. The guanylyl cyclase receptor catalyzes the synthesis of the second messenger molecule,
