Nitric Oxide Regulates Cyclic GMP‐Dependent Protein Kinase Phosphorylation in Rat Brain [PDF]
Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) acts via soluble guanylyl cyclase to increase cyclic GMP (cGMP), which can regulate various targets including protein kinases. Western blotting showed that type II cGMP‐dependent protein kinase (cGK II) is widely expressed in various brain regions, especially in the thalamus.

Cofactor Fingerprinting with STD NMR to Characterize Proteins of Unknown Function: Identification of a Rare cCMP Cofactor Preference [PDF]
Proteomics efforts have created a need for better strategies to functionally categorize newly discovered proteins. To this end, we have employed saturation transfer difference NMR with pools of closely related cofactors, to determine cofactor preferences.

Compartmentalization of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase in formyl- peptide stimulated neutrophils [PDF]
Abstract The presence and physiologic role of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase) in human neutrophils was investigated by Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry. Small quantities of G-kinase were found in the cytoskeletal-enriched fraction of neutrophil lysates as detected by Western blots using a polyclonal antibody ...

Mechanisms involved in the remyelinating effect of sildenafil [PDF]
Remyelination occurs in demyelinated lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) and pharmacological treatments that enhance this process will critically impact the long term functional outcome in the disease.

Cyclic GMP‐Dependent Protein Kinase and Cellular Signaling in the Nervous System [PDF]
Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) and natriuretic peptide hormones play key roles in a surprising number of neuronal functions, including learning and memory. Most data suggest that they exert converging actions by elevation of intracellular cyclic GMP (cGMP) levels through activation of soluble and particulate guanylyl cyclases.

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...

Regulation of Sensory Neuron Precursor Proliferation by Cyclic GMP‐Dependent Protein Kinase [PDF]
Abstract: Cyclic GMP (cGMP) is a molecular messenger involved in diverse cellular processes. Recently, cGMP‐dependent protein kinase (cGK) type II was determined to be a regulator of endochondral ossification and bone growth, identifying a role for cGMP in the regulation of cellular proliferation.
