storage stability :
Store at -20 degree C, for extended storage, conserve at -20 degree C or -80 degree C.
products description :
Endogenous activator of intestinal guanylate cyclase. It stimulates this enzyme through the same receptor binding region as the heat-stable enterotoxins. May be a potent physiological regulator of intestinal fluid and electrolyte transport. May be an autocrine/paracrine regulator of intestinal salt and water transport.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the guanylin family and preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate a mature protein product. The mature protein product, known as uroguanylin, is an endogenous ligand for the guanylate cyclase-C receptor and may regulate salt and water homeostasis in the intestine and kidneys. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit impaired sodium chloride excretion and elevated arterial pressure. This gene is present in a gene cluster with a related guanylin family member on chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
uniprot summary :
GUCA2B: Endogenous activator of intestinal guanylate cyclase. It stimulates this enzyme through the same receptor binding region as the heat-stable enterotoxins.
