Gene summary | | Soluble guanylyl (or guanylate) cyclases are heterodimeric enzymes consisting of an alpha subunit, such as alpha-2 (GUCY1A2), and a beta subunit, typically beta-1 (GUCY1B3; MIM 139397), which are activated by nitric oxide (NO) and which catalyze conversion of GTP to 3-prime, 5-prime-cyclic GMP and pyrophosphate (Harteneck et al., 1991 [PubMed 1683630]).[supplied by OMIM] |
