OverviewNCBI Gene
Soluble guanylate cyclases are heterodimeric proteins that catalyze the conversion of GTP to 3',5'-cyclic GMP and pyrophosphate. The protein encoded by this gene is an alpha subunit of this complex and it interacts with a beta subunit to form the guanylate cyclase enzyme, which is activated by nitric oxide. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads GUCY1A2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GUCY1A2 could matter depends on whether native GUCY1A2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
GUCY1A2 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label GUCY1A2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
