Anatomical context of GUCA2A

  • CONCLUSIONS: Based on the present findings and on the functional role of guanylin in other epithelia, it is likely that gallbladder epithelial cells synthesize and release guanylin into the bile to regulate electrolyte secretion by a paracrine/luminocrine signaling pathway [19].
  • RESULTS: Guanylin and its affiliated signaling proteins are highly expressed in the human gallbladder [19].
  • A 15-amino acid peptide, guanylin, was recently purified from rat jejunum and proposed to be a potential endogenous activator of this receptor [14].
  • Thus, guanylin is synthesized by gut enterochromaffin cells as a prohormone of 115 amino acids and is processed to the molecular form of 94 amino acids circulating in the blood [15].
  • Northern blot and in situ hybridization show high-level expression of guanylin mRNA restricted to the intestine, with localization to Paneth cells at the base of the small intestinal crypts [14].

Regulatory relationships of GUCA2A

  • Pretreatment with ANP (0.03 nM) enhanced guanylin (0.19 muM) natriuretic activity (%ENa(+); from 18.5+/-4.25 to 31.5+/-1.69, P<0.05, 120 min) and its kaliuretic activity (%EK(+); from 24.5+/-4.43 to 50.6+/-3.84, P<0.05, 120 min) [24].
  • UROD (0.03 nM) also enhanced the guanylin-induced natriuresis (to %ENa(+)=31.0+/-1.93, P<0.05, 120 min) and kaliuresis (to %EK(+)=54.2+/-3.61, P<0.05, 120 min), and inhibited the %ENa(+) of uroguanylin (0.31 muM) to 17.9+/-1.67 as well as its %EK(+) to 24.3+/-3.13 (both at 120 min, P<0.05) [24].
