Abstract excerpt
Uroguanylin, which serves as an endogenous ligand of guanylyl cyclase C, is initially secreted in the form of a precursor, prouroguanylin. The N-terminal region of prouroguanylin interacts with the mature portion of prouroguanylin during the folding pathway. Here, a preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of prouroguanylin is presented. Prouroguanylin was refolded, purified and crystallized using the...
