guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate sod

GUANOSINE 3':5'-CYCLIC MONOPHOSPHATE SOD (cGMP sodium salt) , also known as cGMP, is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin. GUANOSINE 3':5'-CYCLIC MONOPHOSPHATE SOD activates protein kinase G (PKG) and modulates ion channel conductance, with signaling affecting diverse processes including smooth muscle relaxation and proliferation, phototransduction, and energy homeostasis.

Cyclic GMP is an endogenous second messenger that initiates interferon production in response to cytoplasmic DNA. It activates the stimulator of interferon genes (STING), triggering a signaling cascade that results in the production of type I interferons and other immune mediators. The conjugate of cyclic GMP and AMP, known as Cyclic-GMP-AMP, can induce the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of IRF3, thereby enhancing antiviral immune responses. Additionally, Cyclic GMP may activate PDE to degrade cAMP, inhibit the myocardial calcium current ICa, and regulate cardiac contractility. The derivative 8-Br-cGMP exhibits antiplatelet activity, and Cyclic GMP is used in research related to antiviral immunity and cardiovascular diseases.
