Abstract excerpt
ROS-GC1 is the original member of the subfamily of membrane guanylate cyclases with two Ca2+ switches, which have been defined as CRM1 and CRM2. These are separately located within the intracellular domain of the cyclase. CRM1 switches on the enzyme at nanomolar concentrations of Ca2+ and is link...
