Background:

Guanylin is a peptide hormone activator of membrane-bound guanylate cyclase C (GC-C).^1,2It contains four cysteines that can form disulfide bridges leading to two possible isoforms, with the active form containing disulfide bridges between Cys⁴and Cys¹²and Cys⁷and Cys¹⁵.¹Guanylin is found in epithelial cells of the small intestine where it activates GC-C to increase intestinal chloride and fluid secretion.^2,3,4Guanylin expression is reduced by 100- to 1,000-fold in greater than 85% of isolated tumors from patients with colorectal cancer compared with adjacent non-cancerous intestinal epithelial tissue.⁵
