Background
This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products, including uroguanylin, a member of the guanylin family of peptides and an endogenous ligand of the guanylate cyclase-C receptor. Binding of this peptide to its cognate receptor stimulates an increase in cyclic GMP and may regulate salt and water homeostasis in the intestine and kidneys. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015],
Function
function:Endogenous activator of intestinal guanylate cyclase. It stimulates this enzyme through the same receptor binding region as the heat-stable enterotoxins. May be a potent physiological regulator of intestinal fluid and electrolyte transport. May be an autocrine/paracrine regulator of intestinal salt and water transport.,similarity:Belongs to the guanylin family.,tissue specificity:Stomach and intestine.,
Protein name
Guanylate cyclase activator 2B [Cleaved into: Guanylate cyclase C-activating peptide 2 (Guanylate cyclase C-activating peptide II) (GCAP-II); Uroguanylin (UGN)]
