Target Information

Guanylate cyclases belong to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family. There are two forms of guanylate cyclase: a soluble form (GCS or sGC), which acts as a receptor for nitric oxide, and a membrane-bound receptor form (GC), which functions as a peptide hormone receptor.
The GC-C protein comprises an extracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic region with kinase-like and catalytic domains. It exists as two glycosylated forms: a 130 kDa precursor in the endoplasmic reticulum and a 145 kDa mature form on the plasma membrane.
Ligand binding to GC-C promotes cGMP accumulation. GC-C serves as the receptor for heat-stable enterotoxins from pathogenic E. coli strains causing secretory diarrhea, and also binds guanylin and uroguanylin peptides that regulate renal function in response to salt intake.
