Guanylate cyclase-activating proteins

Guanylate cyclase activator
A guanylate cyclase activator (or "GUCA") is one of group of proteins which upregulates guanylate cyclase.

It is also known as "guanylate cyclase-activating protein", with the abbreviation "GCAP".

Mutations can be associated with vision defects.

There are five genes involved:
