Entrez ID 2979
Gene name Guanylate cyclase activator 1B
Gene symbol GUCA1B
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GCAP 2GCAP-2GCAP-IIGCAP2GUCA2RP48
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.1
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-binding protein that activates photoreceptor guanylate cyclases. This gene may have arisen due to a gene duplication event since there is a highly similar gene clustered with it on chromosome 6. Mutations in t

Protein name Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2 (GCAP 2) (Guanylate cyclase activator 1B)
Protein function Stimulates two retinal guanylyl cyclases (GCs) GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is low, and inhibits GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is elevated (By similarity). This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GC
