Guanylate cyclase activator
- Guanylate cyclase activator
A guanylate cyclase activator (or "GUCA") is one of group of proteins which upregulates guanylate cyclase.
It is also known as "guanylate cyclase-activating protein", with the abbreviation "GCAP".
Mutations can be associated with vision defects.[cite journal |author=Payne AM, Downes SM, Bessant DA, "et al" |title=A mutation in guanylate cyclase activator 1A (GUCA1A) in an autosomal dominant cone dystrophy pedigree mapping to a new locus on chromosome 6p21.1 |journal=Hum.
