Gene Information

human ... GUCY2C(2984)

General description

The guanylate cyclase 2C (GUCY2C) gene, mapped to human chromosome 12p12, codes for the transmembrane receptor guanylate cyclase C (GC-C). The encoded protein is expressed in intestine.

Immunogen

guanylate cyclase 2C (heat stable enterotoxin receptor) recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

GUCY2C antibody produced in rabbit has been used for western blot analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transmembrane receptor guanylate cyclase C (GC-C), encoded by guanylate cyclase 2C (GUCY2C), regulates the secretion of chloride. Alteration in the gene expression leads to congenital sodium diarrhoea (CSD). GUCY2C catalyzes the conversion of guanosine-5′-triphosphate (GTP) to cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), upon binding of its ligand guanylin and uroguanylin, which are paracrine hormones. GUCY2C functions as a tumor suppressor and hinders intestinal tumorigenesis by inhibiting the protein kinase B/AKT signaling pathway.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
