Synonyms | PRKGR2 |
Function | Crucial regulator of intestinal secretion and bone growth. Phosphorylates and activates CFTR on the plasma membrane. Plays a key role in intestinal secretion by regulating cGMP-dependent translocation of CFTR in jejunum (PubMed:33106379). Acts downstream of NMDAR to activate the plasma membrane accumulation of GRIA1/GLUR1 in synapse and increase synaptic plasticity. Phosphorylates GRIA1/GLUR1 at Ser-863 (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of gene expression and activator of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases MAPK3/ERK1 and MAPK1/ERK2 in mechanically stimulated osteoblasts. Under fluid shear stress, mediates ERK activation and subsequent induction of FOS, FOSL1/FRA1, FOSL2/FRA2 and FOSB that play a key role in the osteoblast anabolic response to mechanical stimulation (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Apical cell membrane; Lipid-anchor |
Tissue Location | Highly concentrated in brain, lung and intestinal mucosa |

Background
cGKII is thought to play a key role in a diverse set of physiological pathway. cGKII may mediate intestinal secretion of water and electrolytes induced by the E. coli toxin STa and the intestinal peptide guanylin. Edentification of the pathway that mediates intestinal fluid secretion by E. coli STa has potential medical implications because STa causes traveler's diarrhea and about 50% of infant mortality in developing countries. Transfection experiments in human cells disclose that cGKII phosphorylates SOX9 and attenuates SOX9 function by inhibiting its nuclear entry. Impaired differentiation of cultured KMI chondrocytes can be restored by silencing Sox9 by RNA interference. cGKII is postulated to be a molecular switch that couples the cessation of proliferation and the start of hypertrophic chondrocyte differentiation through attenuating SOX9 function.
