※ RGC family introduction

    RGCs are Receptor Guanylate Cyclases that have an unusual structure: they are single-pass transmembrane receptors that have an active guanylate cyclase domain and a catalytically inactive kinase domain on the intracellular side. The guanylate cyclase domain makes the second messenger cGMP, and the kinase domain may have a regulatory role and may bind ATP (1,2).
