Name
edit"Ventricular natriuretic peptide" is the newer and more accurate name that is substituting the old term. I have transferred all the information on the new page. However, there is an error regarding infobox data transfer and I don't know how to fix it. Please help to fix it. I appreciate you taking the time to fix that error Behzad Azarmju M.D. (talk) 11:36, 14 December 2019 (UTC).

NYHA undefined
editThe acronym NYHA is a prominent feature of the table that appears in this article. It is not defined.Rdphair (talk) 20:55, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Fixed. Jaredroach (talk) 19:37, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
What has this to do with the brain?
editCan the article explain the relationship between natriuretic peptide and the brain? I.e., why is it called “brain natriuretic peptide”? 138.88.146.163 (talk) 21:58, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Signal peptide is 26 aa
editIn order for the total number of amino acids (aa) to be 134, the signal peptide has to be 26 aa not 25 aa. kupirijo (talk) 20:45, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Correct. Good catch. Jaredroach (talk) 19:35, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
This page should be renamed to "Brain natriuretic peptide"
edit"Brain natriuretic peptide 32" is overly specific. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a more general term that can refer to various forms of the peptide. It includes the precursor forms as well as the final active peptide. BNP is initially synthesized as a 134-amino acid preprohormone (preproBNP). Brain natriuretic peptide 32 (BNP-32) specifically refers to the final, biologically active form of the peptide. And we should not use the BNP acronym to refer to BNP-32.
