High impact information on Gyc76C

  • In situ hybridizations to adult tissue sections showed that drgc mRNA is expressed in a wide range of tissues, including the optic lobe, central brain, thoracic ganglia, digestive tract, and the oocyte [1].
  • The other class of cDNA, drgc, maps to 76C and encodes a 1525-amino acid protein displaying structural features similar to other known receptor-type guanylate cyclases [1].
  • Additionally, we find that the integrity of the Gyc76C catalytic cyclase domain is critical for Gyc76C function in Sema-1a axon repulsion [2].
  • PcGC-M2 is most closely related (33% identity) to a Drosophila membrane form GC (DrGC-1), and an Anopheles gambiae membrane form GC (AgaGC); the three GCs also share a similar distribution pattern of conserved cysteine residues in the extracellular domain [3].
