Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GUCA1B gene.[5][6] Alternative names:[7]

Biological Role

[edit]

Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2 is proposed to play a role in dark adaptation.[8] Under scotopic conditions, calcium ions bind to three putative EF-hand calcium binding motifs which reduces the protein's ability to stimulate guanylyl cyclase.[8] This contributes to the maintained responsiveness of rod photoreceptors through hyperpolarizing them during sustained darkness.
