A cyclic GMP signalling module that regulates gliding motility in a malaria parasite.
The ookinete is a motile stage in the malaria life cycle which forms in the mosquito blood meal from the zygote. Ookinetes use an acto-myosin motor to glide towards and penetrate the midgut wall to establish infection in the vector.

Pharmacological manipulation of cGMP and NO/cGMP in CNS drug discovery
The development of small molecule modulators of NO/cGMP signaling for use in the CNS has lagged far behind the use of such clinical agents in the periphery, despite the central role played by NO/cGMP in learning and memory, and the substantial evidence that this signaling pathway is perturbed in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's ...

The Role of cGMP-Dependent Protein Kinase in Controlling Cardiomyocyte cGMP [PDF]
See related article, pages 1232–1240 The role of cGMP as a second messenger in physiological and pathophysiological processes is widely appreciated.1,–,3 The successes of drugs that target the cGMP-signaling pathway (nitrovasodilators and PDE5 inhibitors [sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil]) have inspired interest in other cardiovascular benefits that ...

Research progress of phosphodiesterase 5 in heart failure [PDF]
Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific hydrolase, is targets cGMP produced by soluble guanosine cyclase (sGC) that is activated by nitric oxide (NO). It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond in cGMP and

SponGee: A Genetic Tool for Subcellular and Cell-Specific cGMP Manipulation
Summary: cGMP is critical to a variety of cellular processes, but the available tools to interfere with endogenous cGMP lack cellular and subcellular specificity. We introduce SponGee, a genetically encoded chelator of this cyclic nucleotide that enables

Controlling Myocyte cGMP [PDF]
See related article, pages 956–964 CGMP is a central intracellular second-messenger regulating numerous cellular functions. In the cardiac myocyte, cGMP mediates effects of nitric oxide and atrial natriuretic peptide, whereas its counterpart, cAMP, mediates catecholamine signaling.

CNP-induced cGMP signaling reduces growth cone stiffness and Ca2+ levels in embryonic DRG neurons
A cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway composed of the extracellular ligand C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the transmembrane natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (Npr2), and the cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (cGKI) regulates axon ...

Molecular patterns of the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway in progressive and regressive liver fibrosis models
The nitric oxide (NO)—soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)—cyclic guanosine-monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is impaired in liver fibrosis. We investigated expression patterns of NO-sGC-cGMP components via RT-qPCR in various rat models of liver fibrosis and ...
