Met 1 - Gly 201

A DNA sequence encoding the human GUCA1A (P43080)( Met1-Gly201) was expressed the N-terminal polyhistidine-tagged GST tag at the N-terminus.

> 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE

The secreted recombinant human GUCA1A consists of 438 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 50.7 KDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 42 KDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1

GCAP 1 gene plays a role in the recovery of retinal photoreceptors from photobleaching. In the recovery phase, the phototransduction messeneger cGMP is replenished by retinal guanylyl cyclase-1 (GC1). GC1 is activated by decreasing Ca(2+) concentrations following photobleaching. The protein encoded by this gene, guanylyl cyclase activating protein 1 (GCAP 1), mediates the sensitivity of GC1 to Ca(2+) concentrations. GCAP 1 promotes activity of GC1 at low Ca(2+) concentrations and inhibits GC1 activity at high Ca(2+) concentrations. Mutations in GCAP 1 gene cause autosomal dominant cone dystrophy (COD3); a disease characterized by reduced visual acuity associated with progressive loss of color vision. GCAP 1 stimulates guanylyl cyclase 1 (GC1) when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits GC1 when free calcium ions concentration is elevated. This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GC is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure.
