Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Both physiologic and pharmacological data have implicated the nitric oxide (NO) signaling cascade in the regulation of blood pressure in humans and its impairment in the pathogenesis of hypertension. In biological systems, the principal receptor for NO is NO-stimulated guanylyl cyclase. NO-stimulated guanylyl cyclases are obligate heterodimers (alpha/beta). The genes for guanylyl cyclase subunits...
