Function:

Involvement in disease:

Relevance:

Plays a critical role in the regulation of enzymes involved in nucleotide cycle in photoreceptors . Inhibits the basal catalytic activity and the GCAP-stimulated activity of GUCY2D and GUCY2F, two retinal guanylyl cyclases involved in the production of cGMP in photoreceptors . Involved in the transport of GUCY2D and GUCY2F to their target sites in the photoreceptor outer segment . Up-regulates the activity of GUK1, a kinase that plays also an essential role for recycling GMP and indirectly, cGMP . Plays an important role for the survival of rods and cones in the retina.

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
