Abstract excerpt
Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is the receptor for the heat-stable enterotoxin, which causes diarrhea, and the endogenous ligands, guanylin and uroguanylin. GC-C is predominantly expressed in the intestinal epithelium and regulates fluid and ion secretion in the gut. The receptor has a complex domain organization, and in the absence of structural information, mutational analysis provides clues to mechanisms of...
