    Summary
    Enables guanylate cyclase activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of cell population proliferation and response to toxic substance. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; and spinal cord. Used to study abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea 6. Orthologous to human GUCY2C (guanylate cyclase 2C).

    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.
