Target Details for GUCY1A1

Target: GUCY1A1 (Guanylate Cyclase 1 Soluble Subunit Alpha (GUCY1A1))

Alternative Name: Guanylate Cyclase Soluble GUCY1A3

Background: Guanylate cyclases belong to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family. There are two forms of guanylate cyclase. The soluble form, known as GCS or sGC, act as receptors for nitric oxide. The membrane-bound receptor form, known as GC, are peptide hormone receptors. GCS is a cGMP-synthesizing enzyme, which is the major receptor for the neurotransmitter nitric oxide (NO). It plays a crucial role in smooth muscle contractility, platelet reactivity and neurotransmission. GCS is a heme containing heterodimer, consisting of one 72 kDa alpha subunit and one 65 kDa beta subunit. The heme moeity mediates NO activation, and this heme group also binds carbon monoxide, which weakly stimulates the enzyme. Both NO and CO stimulation are enhanced by the allosteric activator 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'furyl)-benzylindazole, YC-1. YC-1 can also stimulate GCS in a NOindependent manner. Both alpha and beta subunits are required for cGMP generation, and at least two isoforms exist for each subunit. Heterodimers consisting of alpha-1/beta-1 and alpha-2/beta-1 have been identified, and both display similar enzymatic activity.Synonyms: GCS-alpha-1, GCS-alpha-3, GUC1A3, GUCSA3, GUCY1A1, Guanylate cyclase soluble subunit alpha-3, Soluble guanylate cyclase large subunit, sGC alpha
