Once released, BNP binds to and activates the atrial natriuretic factor receptor NPRA, and to a lesser extent NPRB, in a fashion similar to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) but with 10-fold lower affinity.
The GTP layer for the control plane (GTP-C) tunnels signaling messages between GSNs in the GPRS backbone network.The GTP-C enables several procedures to be performed through the GPRS backbone network, including path management, tunnel management, location management, and mobility management.he GTP layer for the control plane (GTP-C) tunnels signaling messages between GSNs in the GPRS backbone network.
Cellular signaling is a highly important aspect of the study of cell regulation because most of the regulatory processes within a cell are a response to some form of signal. Changes in a cell's environment may cause signaling proteins or chemicals to bind to signal receptors in order to indicate the need for some form of regulatory response.
