The intestinal hormone guanylin and bacterial heat-stable enterotoxins (STs) are members of a peptide family that activates intestinal membrane guanylate cyclase. Two different peptides that activate the human intestinal T84 cell guanylate cyclase have been purified from urine and intestinal

Animals use social communication to learn important information from conspecifics that can guide appropriate behavioral choices. For example, during the social transmission of food preference (STFP), conspecific semiochemicals detected by mouse olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing the atypical olfactory receptor

The guanylin family of bioactive peptides consists of three endogenous peptides, including guanylin, uroguanylin and lymphoguanylin, and one exogenous peptide toxin produced by enteric bacteria. These small cysteine-rich peptides activate cell-surface receptors, which have intrinsic guanylate cyclase activity, thus modulating

Uroguanylin (UGN) is a 16 amino acid peptide produced mainly by intestinal epithelial cells. Nutrients intake increases circulating levels of prouroguanylin that is processed and converted to UGN to activate the guanylyl cyclase 2C receptor (GUCY2C). Given that the UGN-GUCY2C

Prouroguanylin is a gastrointestinal paracrine signal and prohormone that is secreted after nutrient ingestion. In this issue of the JCI, Valentino et al. show that prouroguanylin is converted to uroguanylin in the CNS, which can activate guanylyl cyclase 2C (GUCY2C)
