Other Information

**Key characteristics** * GUCY1A2 is a type of guanylate cyclase that is expressed in the cytoplasm of cells. * It is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. * It is a glycoprotein that is highly conserved in evolution. **Pathways and functions** GUCY1A2 is involved in a variety of signaling pathways, including the cGMP-mediated signaling pathway, the nitric oxide-mediated signal transduction pathway, and the platelet homeostasis pathway. It is also involved in the regulation of muscle contraction, and it plays a role in the maintenance of blood pressure and blood volume. **Clinical significance** Mutations in GUCY1A2 have been linked to a number of neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, autism, and epilepsy. These disorders are characterized by abnormal levels of nitric oxide in the brain, which can lead to a variety of symptoms, including cognitive impairment, seizures, and muscle spasms. GUCY1A2 is a promising target for the treatment of these disorders.
