GUANOSINE 3':5'-CYCLIC MONOPHOSPHATE SOD

GUANOSINE 3':5'-CYCLIC MONOPHOSPHATE also known as cGMP is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones including acetylcholine insulin and oxytocin. cGMP activates protein kinase G (PKG) and modulates ion channel conductance with signaling affecting diverse processes including smooth muscle relaxation and proliferation phototransduction and energy homeostasis.
