Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme, also called CRN or ATC2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CORIN gene. It is mapped to 4p12. This gene encodes a member of the type II transmembrane serine protease class of the trypsin superfamily. Members of this family are composed of multiple structurally distinct domains. It has been found that Corin is the pro-ANP-converting enzyme and that Corin-mediated pro-ANP activation may play a role in regulating blood pressure. What’s more, Corin and ANP are essential for physiologic changes at the maternal-fetal interface. This protein may also function as a pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide convertase. Corin gene mutations which cause Corin to impair activity might be an underlying mechanism in hypertension.

Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 4000pg/ml, 2000pg/ml, 1000pg/ml, 500pg/ml, 250pg/ml, 125pg/ml, 62.5pg/ml human Corin standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of human cell culture supernates, serum, plasma(heparin, EDTA) or tissue homogenates to each empty well. It is recommended that each human Corin standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
