This gene encodes the beta subunit of the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which catalyzes the conversion of GTP (guanosine triphosphate) to cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). The encoded protein contains an HNOX domain, which serves as a receptor for ligands such as nitric oxide, oxygen and nitrovasodilator drugs. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.A. Shimouchi, Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol, Nov 1993; 265: 456.Peter Sinnaeve, Circ. Res., Jan 2001; 88: 103.Stephan Thelitz, J.
