Summary: This gene encodes a member of the guanylin family and preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate a mature protein product. The mature protein product, known as uroguanylin, is an endogenous ligand for the guanylate cyclase-C receptor and may regulate salt and water homeostasis in the intestine and kidneys. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit impaired sodium chloride excretion and elevated arterial pressure. This gene is present in a gene cluster with a related guanylin family member on chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

What's a GeneRIF?

Guanylin and uroguanylin, as well as their prohormones, do not seem to play a significant role in body weight regulation and glycemic control, suggesting that guanylin-family peptides do not show promise as targets for the treatment of obesity or diabetes.
Title: Guanylin and uroguanylin mRNA expression is increased following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, but guanylins do not play a significant role in body weight regulation and glycemic control.

In obese mice UGN expression was decreased, whereas leptin treatment up-regulated UGN levels in duodenum in these genetically modified mice compared to WT.
Title: Uroguanylin levels in intestine and plasma are regulated by nutritional status in a leptin-dependent manner.
UGN exerts its inhibitory activity on the prendrin gene promoter likely via heat shock factor 1 action at a defined heat shock element site.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
