gene: gcy-28 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables guanylate cyclase activity. Involved in chemotaxis; olfactory behavior; and sensory perception. Located in cell body and neuron projection. Expressed in body wall musculature; gonad; hypodermis; intestine; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple) and bone development disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human NPR1 (natriuretic peptide receptor 1).
