NPR2
Description
The NPR2 gene (Natriuretic Peptide Receptor 2) plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses by binding to natriuretic peptides, signaling molecules involved in various physiological processes. It is involved in modulating inflammation, vascular permeability, and cell growth. NPR2‘s function is tightly intertwined with the immune system‘s activity, particularly in regulating the activation and differentiation of immune cells.
