GUCA1B
An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox
Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GUCA1B gene.[1][2] Alternative names:[3]
- Guanylate cyclase activator 1B
- Retinal guanylyl cyclase activator protein p24
Biological Role
Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2 is proposed to play a role in dark adaptation.[4] Under scotopic conditions, calcium ions bind to three putative EF-hand calcium binding motifs which reduces the protein's ability to stimulate guanylyl cyclase.[4] This contributes to the maintained responsiveness of rod photoreceptors through hyperpolarizing them during sustained darkness.
