A guanylate cyclase activator (or "GUCA") is one of group of proteins which upregulates
guanylate cyclase
Guanylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.2, also known as guanyl cyclase, guanylyl cyclase, or GC; systematic name GTP diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing; 3′,5′-cyclic-GMP-forming)) is a lyase enzyme that converts guanosine triphosphate (GTP) to cyclic guanos ...
. It is also known as guanylate cyclase-activating protein, with the abbreviation "GCAP".
