Summary: Predicted to enable guanylate cyclase activity and nitric oxide binding activity. Predicted to contribute to adenylate cyclase activity and cytidylate cyclase activity. Involved in retrograde trans-synaptic signaling by nitric oxide, modulating synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cGMP biosynthetic process; positive regulation of nitric oxide mediated signal transduction; and relaxation of vascular associated smooth muscle. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study primary open angle glaucoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Moyamoya disease. Orthologous to human GUCY1A1 (guanylate cyclase 1 soluble subunit alpha 1).

Exogenous or paracrine sources of NO promote the specification towards the myocyte lineage and expression of cardiac sarcomeric proteins of adult cardiac progenitor cells. This is contingent upon the expression and activity of the alpha1 subunit of guanylyl cyclase in CPC that is necessary for NO-mediated inhibition of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway.

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.
