GUCY1A1 guanylate cyclase 1 soluble subunit alpha 1

Gene ID: 2982, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GUCA3; MYMY6; GC-SA3; GUC1A3; GUCSA3; GUCY1A3; GCS-alpha-3; GC-S-alpha-1

Summary

Soluble guanylate cyclases are heterodimeric proteins that catalyze the conversion of GTP to 3',5'-cyclic GMP and pyrophosphate. The protein encoded by this gene is an alpha subunit of this complex and it interacts with a beta subunit to form the guanylate cyclase enzyme, which is activated by nitric oxide. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
