Background
Guanosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP; cGMP) was identified in 1963. It has been shown to be present at levels typically 10-100 fold lower than cAMP in most tissues and is formed by the action of the enzyme guanylate cyclase on GTP. It is involved in a number of important biological reactions. Some hormones, such as acetylcholine, insulin and oxytocin, as well as certain other chemicals like serotonin and histamine cause an increase in cGMP levels. Stimulators of guanylate cyclase such as the vasodilators nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, sodium nitrate and nitric oxide (NO) also stimulate cGMP levels. Peptides, such as, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) that relax smooth muscle also increase cGMP concentrations. cGMP has been confirmed as a second messenger for ANP. NO can be synthesized from L-arginine and diffuse through cell membranes. The interaction of NO with guanylate cyclase allows cGMP to act as a third messenger in some cells.
