    Summary
    Enables guanylate cyclase activity. Predicted to be involved in cGMP-mediated signaling and response to oxygen levels. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of nitric oxide mediated signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of guanylate cyclase complex, soluble. Orthologous to human GUCY1A2 (guanylate cyclase 1 soluble subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
