Post Translational Modifications | Glycosylation at Asn-74 and/or Asn-78 is required for interaction with VIP36 while glycosylation at Asn-401 modulates ligand-mediated GC-C activation. |
Function | Guanylyl cyclase that catalyzes synthesis of cyclic GMP (cGMP) from GTP. Receptor for the E.coli heat-stable enterotoxin.E.coli enterotoxin markedly stimulates the accumulation of cGMP in mammalian cells expressing GUCY2C. |
