cGK1/PRKG1 Small Molecules and Peptides

cGK1/PRKG1, also known as cGMP-dependent protein kinase 1, has two isoforms that are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform Alpha (CGK1-alpha) is 671 amino acids long and 76 kDa. Isoform Beta (CGK1-beta) is 686 amino acids long and approximately 78 kDa. PRKG1 is a Serine/threonine protein kinase that is expressed in placenta and lung. cGK1/PRKG1 is an important player in the Nitric Oxide/cGMP Signaling Pathway; the binding of GMP activates PRKG1, which in turn phosphorylates Serine residues ...
