Guanylate cyclase is a lyase enzyme that converts guanosine triphosphate to cyclic guanosine monophosphate and pyrophosphate. It is often part of the G protein signaling cascade that is activated by low intracellular calcium levels and inhibited by high intracellular calcium levels.
What is the function of guanylate cyclase?
Guanylate cyclase is found in the retina (RETGC) and modulates visual phototransduction in rods and cones. It is part of the calcium negative feedback system that is activated in response to the hyperpolarization of the photoreceptors by light.
What is particulate guanylyl cyclase?
The particulate guanylyl cyclase A (pGC-A)/cGMP pathway plays important roles in regulating renal physiological function and as well as in counteracting pathophysiological conditions. ... These activators bind and activate pGC-A, generating the second messenger cyclic 3',5' guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
