cyclic GMP
cyclic GMPn. Abbr. cGMP A cyclic nucleotide of guanosine that is produced inside cells in response to external stimuli, such as hormones, and triggers various biochemical pathways within the cell.cyclic GMP n. a small molecule, a cyclic anhydride of GMP, that acts in cellular metabolism to increase cell division and growth. Also called cGMP. [1970–75] cyclic GMP
cyclic GMP[¦sī·klik ¦jē¦em′pē] (biochemistry) A 3′,5′-cyclic ester of guanosine monophosphate that is involved in vision transduction through its direct effects on Na+and Ca2+channels in the plasma membrane of rod cells. cyclic GMP
GMP guanosine monophosphate.3′,5′-GMP (cyclic GMP) cyclic guanosine monophosphate.
guanosine [gwah´no-sēn] a nucleoside, guanine riboside, one of the major constituents of RNA.cyclic guanosine monophosphate a cyclic nucleotide, guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate, an intracellular “second messenger” similar in action to cyclic adenosine monophosphate; the two cyclic nucleotides activate different protein kinases and usually produce opposite effects on cell function. Abbreviated 3′,5′-GMP, cGMP, and cyclic GMP.guanosine monophosphate (GMP) a nucleotide important in metabolism and RNA synthesis.guanosine triphosphate (GTP) a nucleotide required for RNA synthesis and involved in energy metabolism.cyclic GMPn. Abbr. cGMP A cyclic nucleotide of guanosine that is produced inside cells in response to external stimuli, such as hormones, and triggers various biochemical pathways within the cell.cyclic GMP (guanosine monophosphate) a nucleotide that usually produces cell responses opposite to those of CYCLIC AMP. Analogous with cAMP, it is present in much lower concentrations.ThesaurusSeeguanosine |
