Abstract excerpt
The guanylate cyclase activator 2B, also known as uroguanylin, is part of the guanylin peptide family, which includes peptides such as guanylin and lymphoguanylin. The guanylin peptides could be related to sodium absorption inhibition and water secretion induction and their dysfunction may be related to various pathologies such as chronic renal failure, congestive heart failure and nephrotic syndrome. Besides,...
