Soluble guanylate cyclases (sGCs) are heterodimeric enzymes that convert GTP to 3′,5′-cyclic GMP and pyrophosphate. Most complexes consist of an alpha subunit, such as alpha-2 (GUCY1A2), and a beta subunit, typically beta-1 (GUCY1B3). In the presence of magnesium or manganese ions, enzyme activity is stimulated by nitric oxide. sGCs are the principal receptors for nitric oxide (NO) and NO-releasing drugs.
sGC plays a role in several cardiovascular pathways. Reduced sGC function contributes to several conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. sGC-induced cGMP increase ultimately affects vascular relaxation, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and altered neurotransmission.
sGC GUCY1A2 is upregulated in several cancers and promotes tumorigenesis. GUCY1A2 regulation is particularly dysregulated in cervical, prostate, and gastric cancer. The expression of GUCY1A2 is proposed as a prognostic indicator for the outcome of gastric cancer and prostate cancer.
