Abstract

Our results support the concept that proBNP(1-108) may be processed outside of the heart in the circulation where the proprotein convertase is present. Moreover, sex may impact this process, since corin concentrations are higher in men. These findings may have important physiologic and pathophysiologic implications for the proBNP/corin system in the human.
