Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables cGMP binding activity and cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Involved in collateral sprouting and receptor guanylyl cyclase signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; nitric oxide-cGMP-mediated signaling; and relaxation of vascular associated smooth muscle. Located in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thoracic aortic aneurysm. Orthologous to human PRKG1 (protein kinase cGMP-dependent 1).
