An important second messenger, cGMP is a major intracellular mediator of extracellular signals such as nitric oxide and natriuretic peptides. Cyclic GMP interacts with three types of intracellular receptor proteins: cGMP-dependent protein kinases, cGMP-regulated channels, and cGMP-regulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases. A primary action of elevated cGMP levels in vivo is the stimulation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG).

1. The permeability of the channel activated by guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) to many organic monovalent cations was determined by recording macroscopic currents in excised inside-out patches of plasma membrane from isolated retinal rod outer segments of the tiger salamander.

1. Blockage and permeation of divalent cations through channels activated by guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) were studied in membrane patches excised from retinal rods of the tiger salamander Ambystoma tigrinum by rapidly changing the ionic medium bathing the intracellular

The cyclic nucleotide cGMP is an important intracellular messenger for synaptic plasticity and memory function in rodents. Therefore, inhibition of cGMP degrading phosphodiesterases, like PDE9A, has gained interest as potential target for treatment of cognition deficits in indications like Alzheimer's
Nitric oxide (NO) deficiency induced by the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME) resulted in hypertension. L-citrulline (CIT) can be converted to L-arginine to generate NO. We examined whether maternal CIT supplementation can prevent L-NAME-induced programmed hypertension. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley
Compound 21 (C-21) is a highly selective nonpeptide AT2 receptor (AT2R) agonist. To test the hypothesis that renal proximal tubule AT2Rs induce natriuresis and lower blood pressure in Sprague-Dawley rats and mice. In rats, AT2R activation with intravenous C-21 increased
Cyclic nucleotides like cAMP modulate cell function via PKA activation and ion channels.
