Human symbol has changed for genepage ID: 950985 From gucy1b3 to gucy1b1

Human name changed for Gene ID:2983 from guanylate cyclase 1, soluble, beta 3 to guanylate cyclase 1 soluble subunit beta 1

summary from NCBI

This gene encodes the beta subunit of the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which catalyzes the conversion of GTP (guanosine triphosphate) to cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). The encoded protein contains an HNOX domain, which serves as a receptor for ligands such as nitric oxide, oxygen and nitrovasodilator drugs. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
