Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is a heterodimeric hemoprotein that selectively binds Nitric Oxide (NO). NO binding stimulates the synthesis of cGMP, which then binds to phosphodiesterases (PDE), ion-gated channels, and cGMP-dependent protein kinases (cGK) to regulate several physiological functions including vasodilation, platelet aggregation and neurotransmission.
