Gucy1a2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables guanylate cyclase activity. Predicted to be involved in cGMP-mediated signaling and response to oxygen levels. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of nitric oxide mediated signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of guanylate cyclase complex, soluble. Orthologous to human GUCY1A2 (guanylate cyclase 1 soluble subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Gucy1a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
