What's a GeneRIF?

The specific cellular distribution of both GN and UGN differs between duodenum and colon and between human and rat intestines.
Title: Cellular localization of guanylin and uroguanylin mRNAs in human and rat duodenal and colonic mucosa.
our data suggest that the inhibitory effect of UGN on NHE3 transport activity in proximal tubule is mediated by activation of both cGMP/PKG and cAMP/PKA signaling pathways
Title: Mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of uroguanylin on NHE3 transport activity in renal proximal tubule.
these studies provide a comprehensive description of Ugn and GC-C expression in the kidney of the Sprague-Dawley rat.
Title: The rat kidney contains high levels of prouroguanylin (the uroguanylin precursor) but does not express GC-C (the enteric uroguanylin receptor).
To respond to proUGn released from the gut, any target organ must use a local mechanism for production of active peptide.
Title: Circulating prouroguanylin is processed to its active natriuretic form exclusively within the renal tubules.
Uroguanylin is delivered to the kidney as an unprocessed propeptide.
Title: Uroguanylin, an intestinal natriuretic peptide, is delivered to the kidney as an unprocessed propeptide.
atrial natriuretic peptide, urodilatin, guanylin and uroguanylin interact in rat kidney

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
