Abstract excerpt
The second messenger cGMP is a major intracellular mediator of the vaso-active agents nitric oxide and natriuretic peptides. The principal targets of cGMP are (i) phosphodiesterases, resulting in interference with the cAMP-signalling pathway, (ii) cGMP-gated cation channels, and (iii) cGMP-dependent protein kinases (cGKs). Only two mammalian isotypes of cGK have been described so far: type I cGK, consisting of an...
