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.

Significance and Uses
Assay Designs' cyclic GMP Complete EIA Kit is designed to Simplify Your Science® by providing one easy-to-use assay for all sample types. The cyclic GMP Complete EIA Kit is for the quantitative determination of cGMP in cells, tissue, culture supernates, serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. Two sample diluents are provided to make assaying most any sample type possible. The optional acetylated format provides a 10-fold increase in sensitivity . The kit includes 0.1M HCl which is added to cells to lyse them, stop endogenous phosphodiesterase activity, and stabilize the released cyclic GMP.
