What Does CGMP Stand For?
CGMP stands for Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate
Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (CGMP) is a pivotal intracellular signaling molecule involved in various physiological processes. It acts as a second messenger, primarily mediating the effects of nitric oxide and playing a crucial role in regulating smooth muscle relaxation, neurotransmission, and blood flow. CGMP influences several cellular functions by activating protein kinases, leading to changes in cellular response and activity. Its significance is evident in cardiovascular health, neuronal function, and physiological regulation.
