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).
This is a predicted enhancer region. These are intergenic TF-binding sites >500 bp from a gene start which overlap a TSS cluster, excluding regions that appear to be unannotated promoters based on having a signature of high H3K4me3/low H3K4me1. Nearest downstream gene=T01A4.1. Surounding gene organisation=tandem
