Two similar membrane bound guanylate cyclases (GC-A and GC-B) are known as natriuretic peptide receptors, but have not been well characterized yet. In this study, we have isolated two forms of GC-B cDNA clones along with GC-A cDNA clones from rat brain. The two forms of rat GC-B differ from each other only by 75bp deletion at 3'-flanking region of the putative transmembrane domain, the shorter form lacking the nucleotide binding site by the deletion. Expression of these cDNAs on mammalian cells revealed that (1) GC-B is a specific receptor for CNP whereas GC-A is stimulated effectively both by ANP and BNP, and (2) the two forms of GC-B possess practically the same high binding affinity for CNP while the shorter form could not induce cGMP production by the binding of CNP. These data indicate that in rat brain is present the non-functional receptor for CNP caused by the short deletion.
